Mhmm, not really IMHO. For me, `.gitignore' is rather an
administrative metafile (like the `.git' subdirectory). Consequently,
such files make only sense in the git repository but not in the
tarball.

If you are in a hurry, please provide a patch so that `make dist'
ignores those files :-) Otherwise, I'll fix this, but without any
guarantee of a time frame.
