It's best practice to have a .gitignore file. I recommend it for all suckless subprojects. You want to explicitly tell the VCS which files are not of interest for it, it can not know by itself. The move to a different VCS occurs very seldomly, in this case the infrastructure has to be adopted. Porting the file ignore list is a very easy task. What are the downsides of having this besides the VCS move thing? Kind regards, -Alexander Huemer
