---------------------------------------------------------
{quote}
a bunch of .gitignore files strewn around the various rpm-related directories,
which don't actually help anything so far as I can tell
{quote}
The build system was/is/may expect some of these directories to exist. So the
.gitignore trick would force the directories to be preserved in git, even if
empty. I am not sure if this is still needed though.
I will take a look, although I suspect this may be needed by rpmbuild itself.
