Oh. Never mind. That doesn't seem useful enough to be worth spending
time on. What I want is to ignore all of the build products, so that
when I do 'git status' in my working tree, I only see the the files
I've actually added/changed. Now that you mention it, I think I had
the same complaint about the .cvsignore files back when I was using
CVS. It seems like an odd charter.
