+1 to include the "usual IDE suspects" (emacs ~ files anyone?) in
the .gitignore, particularly for Commons which may see many "drive by"
contributors who don't have their global gitignore perfectly set up. (I
don't even have one!)

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-build-plugin/
or keep the .gitignores drifting per component?
