What I've got has turned into a patch series.  There are some general
.gitignore cleanup patches, followed by large mechanical fixes.

Who should be included as Cc for submitting these?  Usual pattern would
end up including all the general maintainers on all patches.  The reason
is several of these are taking pieces off of the top-level .gitignore and
moving those to subdirectory .gitignore files which would have shorter Cc
lists.  There wouldn't be actual effects at the top-level, merely those
subdirectories.  Should only the maintainers for the subdirectories be
Cc'd?

These also have limited testing.  The testing which is possible is to
simply run `git check-ignore -vn <filename>` and I'm lacking appropriate
testers.  I'm hopeful I'll get it right, but there is always that sweaty
palms moment worrying I severely goof'd...
