I've said that we would need .precious in addition to .ignore;
no objection at all, except "even with clean -x" part which may
be a controversial detail.
Can it be done right now? Of course not. That is definitely a
post 1.5.3 item.
But the beauty of the distributednes of git is that _you_ can
start working on it without disturbing anybody else nor worrying
about the stabilization freeze period.
Me, personally I would prefer to see people spending their time
to find regressions in -rc and fixing them before the release,
though...
