Well, I do feel strongly about it.  It has proven to be a useful reference for 
me (and others), time and time again.

It is absolutely trivial for a developer to ignore those files using some very 
simple script wrappers.  I've been doing it for years, on a wide range of 
products.  It's as simple as 

  grep $* | grep -v '\.svn/|\.git/|,v$'

and just augment from there.  I have a slightly more robust version at work I 
can post if people are really interested (can't get at the office network from 
home, so tomorrow).  But really, this is a simple problem to solve.
