Bug ID: 55486
Summary: Add .gitignore to the /skins directory to make it
easier to work on extensions
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Git/Gerrit
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Just like extensions which are usually hosted in a separate repo, skins (other
than the default ones) are also often hosted externally. When you checkout
these external repos into your working copy of MW, they always get listed in
the results of "git status" when that command is run in the higher directory
levels (inside MW). This also introduces the risk of incorrectly adding those
skins to your patch when you carelessly run "git commit -am ..."
I believe these were the reasons we (rightfully) added svnignore in the old
days, and .gitignore in the news days, to the /extensions directory. I would
like to propose doing the same for the skins directory.
