It's just a cleaner repository and a better practice to keep project/workspace files out of source control. It's called source control because it manages source versioning, not project settings for a particular IDE control. This gives anyone that downloads the source files a clean set of only the source files needed to build the project/library, how its built can then be determined by each developer, i.e. I want to edit/build the source with IntelliJ. Any files that are auto-generated by an IDE should just never go in the code repository. They're always problematic. Take for instance the test runners created by Flash Builder. If you happen to be running only a sub set of your test cases then the test runner application gets edited and the next person that gets updates now has a test runner that is running different tests than they were running before the update. That's just another example I thought of that I've seen happen. That said I was just kind of recommending it, but I think we should all be free to do whatever we want in our whiteboard areas. I just think its annoying when I find Eclipse/IntelliJ/whatever files in code repositories.
