Documentation such as Documentation/boards/kvx.rst and tooling such as

Therefore, include it in .gitignore.

I have nothing against adding this here. I just wondered why my build
directories don't show up in git status and realized the barebox
toplevel Makefile already creates a .gitignore file in the build
directory:
{ echo "# this is build directory, ignore it"; echo "*"; } > .gitignore
Any idea why this doesn't happen in your case?
Oh, I was not aware of this.
In my case, "build" is a symlink to outside the barebox sourcetree. The
build/.gitignore is created with this content but it isn't respected by
git because it isn't in the sourcetree. This is also why I added
'/build' to .gitignore and not '/build/': To also ignore it when it's a
symlink.
Regards,
Jonas
