i have no problem with encouraging people to build out of tree (i love that functionality). sometimes though, it's easier to just build in tree to do quick tests. i also don't think it's a big deal to support, or to just take patches tweaking the gitignore file even if people themselves don't want to maintain it.
I don't really care either way. The current hints (.gitignore contents, INSTALL instructions) point towards in-tree builds. But now I'm building out-of-tree.
might be easier to keep these lists in src/.gitignore or tests/.gitignore. i'm fine with either.
I think this would make sense if we want to complete the listing of auto-generated files.
So which way do we want to go? Remove all ignored files only generated during an in-tree build, or add the missing auto-generated files from such a build?
