Charlie Carson commented on MESOS-916:
--------------------------------------
(copied from the dev mailing list)
People have asked about this before. Some people don't want .gitignore
files because they like to see everything that's in their directories,
including generated files so they have a better idea of when something was
supposed to get generated but didn't, etc.
In the past people have simply added their own .gitignore (adding
'.gitignore' to it as well so it ignores itself). Someone once proposed
committing a .gitignore-template (or something similarly named) that a
developer can copy to .gitignore if they choose to (but this doesn't force
people that don't want .gitignore to use it).
> add .gitignore files for ./bootstrap generated files

> Key: MESOS-916
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-916
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build
> Reporter: Charlie Carson
> Assignee: Charlie Carson
> Priority: Minor
>
> Running the ./bootstrap command to set up the enlistment for building
> generates 35 files and 3 directories (which contain another 19 files) which
> are not tracked by git in 9 directories.
> In addition, the Developers Guide page recommends creating a build directory
> to do builds from within.
> The plan is to add 9 .gitignore files, 1 for each directory, that mask out
> the auto-generated files & the /build directory.
