Personal opinion, the per-project .gitignore should be reserved exclusively for autogenerated artifacts tools and scripts embedded in the source (AUTHORS, dist, cover) or ephemeral files created by tools which are part of the documented and recommended workflow (.tox, .testrepository). The place for ignoring files created by your preferred tools (editors, IDEs) is within your own ~/.gitconfig instead... you can even set core.excludesfile to something like ~/.gitignore if you want to inherit common exclusions from a separate file. As for a global .gitignore synchronized across all projects, I think this is not likely to work well. Consider, as an example, that some projects may want ChangeLog autogenerated by PBR from the Git commit log while others prefer to hand-curate their ChangeLog file instead. The first project will want ChangeLog listed in .gitignore while the second will want it to actually get checked into the repo. -- Jeremy Stanley _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
