Nice, first cogito and now git itself. You are pretty fast.

I do use doc/.warning or similar in some projects files for outputting
a warning when somebody simply types 'make', so he'll get instructions
on what to do.

Other people may even want to include *.o in their tree, because it's
used by their program for another purpose.

I do not think that a VCS should ignore anything from itself. If we
generate a standard .git/info/excludes (or whatever the name of it is)
and write those standard values in there, this is a different thing.
