I don't have a super strong opinion on this but I'd personally lean towards _not_ having .DS_Store in a project-specific gitignore. The reason for that is the global gitignore is exactly the right place for this rule as it applies system-wide. On the other hand, project .gitingore files should only list what applies to a given repository.
I'd say the right solution would be a mix of: 1. Developers learning a bit about the tools they use. 2. git having more sensible defaults on a per-platform basis. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
