Add subtree .gitignore files themselves to gitignore This seems like a silly rule, but for example the Eclipse Gradle integration will 'helpfully' generate .gitignore files in every project that then show as dirty. For example, if you take a vanilla Eclipse install and import Kafka, this is the status you get: ``` ?? clients/.gitignore ?? connect/api/.gitignore ?? connect/file/.gitignore ?? connect/json/.gitignore ?? connect/runtime/.gitignore ?? connect/transforms/.gitignore ?? examples/bin/.gitignore ?? log4j-appender/.gitignore ?? streams/.gitignore ?? streams/examples/.gitignore ?? tools/.gitignore ``` You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/stevenschlansker/kafka ignore-sub-gitignore Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2549.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #2549 ---- commit 015f384d92d59553b384325107f66e32ae8189bc Author: Steven Schlansker <sschlans...@opentable.com> Date: 2017-02-14T22:03:56Z Add subtree .gitignore files themselves to gitignore This seems like a silly rule, but for example the Eclipse Gradle integration will 'helpfully' generate .gitignore files in every project that then show as dirty.
