OpenStack does not have operational or administrative ownership over the computers used by contributors. As such, the community should not accept or promote any policy which suggests a configuration that alters the behavior of systems beyond the scope of a local workspace used while working with OpenStack project(s). Official alterations of a *global* .gitignore are completely unacceptable, but if certain files are not to be specified in the .gitignore committed with the project then a policy related to modifying the $GIT_DIR/info/exclude would be an acceptable alternative.

We seem to have some back and forth, one cycle there's a bug and a patch to add things like eclipse, idea etc and the next there's a bug and a patch to remove them. I'd like to have some sort of consensus on what we want here. I personally don't have a preference, I would just like to have consistency and quit thrashing back and forth. Anyway, I'd like to see all of the projects agree on this... or even consider moving to a global .gitignore. Thoughts??
