I have found that having a .gitignore under version control is problematic.
In all my git repos i try to ensure it is not udner version control. The
reason being is because i started committing to it and the changes get piled
up on top of changed when you svn rebase. Future rebases caused conflicts
for me. Eventually i got to a point where i could not rebase any longer.
However in between was an update to the git version i was using.

Anyhow, at that point i decided to keep it out of version control to ensure
the head of my checkout is the latest from svn (on the master branch at
least). Others may have a better way of doing this. I would be all ears to
hear about how.
