I like the idea. As Phillipe pointed out, there are still a few files that may be created by merely running './configure' or common editor droppings or workflow setups that are still worth ignoring, but as most of these truly no longer appear during a fresh checkout, it makes sense to clean it up.
Someone who still wants to use 'fake in-tree' builds and creates symlinks for themselves will no longer have those symlinks ignored by this pruned file, but can edit their own .git/info/exclude file to match their preferences.

Our 'fake in-tree' build uses just 'build', but ignoring '/build*/' might be wiser to automatically ignore all other variations on the theme of a subdirectory per build.
