+1 for adding a top level .gitignore entry.
I don't have a Windows system to test on, but how come these files were
only created in the ecpg testsuite? With the global .gitignore not
mentioning *.obj it appears those files are not created anywhere else.
Is the build process different for the rest of the tree?
The MSVC build creates project directories which contain all the .obj
files etc. The file locations for intermediate artefacts are quite
different from the way a Unix build works. There is an ignore rule for
these directories, which covers the .obj files there. But ecpg files are
generated like in Unix builds. Since we have a global ignore rule for .o
files it makes plenty of sense to have one for .obj files also.
Certainly better than have one rule for each ecpg test case.
