Thanks @Christian Ehrlicher<mailto:[email protected]> for spotting! - .gitingore files in submodules' root dir seem to be maintained and up to date (checked qtbase and qtdeclarative) - IMHO they can be removed with a mass-commit - IMHO a rule should be added to Sanity Bot to react to new .gitignore files with a -1

As much as I'd like it to be different, but we still support in-source builds of Qt. Note: this is not a veto against removing those .gitignore files.
