My personal vote: Forget the whole thing.
The folks who are more familiar with git than I seem to be pretty clear
that we need to ignore all build products. I don't think that "ignore
nothing" is going to work pleasantly at all. On reflection I realize
that cvs ignore and git ignore are considerably different because they
come into play at different times: cvs ignore really only matters while
doing "cvs update" to pull in new code, while git ignore matters while
you're constructing a commit. So you really do need git ignore to
ignore all build products; otherwise you'll have lots of chatter in
"git status".
Agreed. It's not a big deal though, until now I've just always used "git
status | less" and scrolled up to the beginning, ignoring the chatter.
