There doesn't seem anything postgres-specific about these. Pretty much
everything we list is a byproduct of a standard build, not some other
tool. "man gitignore" says

Patterns which a user wants git to ignore in all situations (e.g.,
backup or temporary files generated by the user’s editor of choice)
generally go into a file specified by core.excludesfile in the
user’s ~/.gitconfig.

I would think tags files and cscope.out probably come into that
category, although I don't have terribly strong feelings about it.
