I've attached an example file that could be used for this. My example has Mac-related ignores, so you might want to make some additions for other platforms. 121709 1 30425 opendarwin 2009-05-17 14:12:57 -0700 Created attachment 30425 Example .gitignore file 121740 2 mrowe 2009-05-17 22:59:39 -0700 Since we use SVN as our version control system I don't think it's a great idea to clutter up the tree with dot files related to a different system. To avoid this problem yourself you can put entries in $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, which functions as an ignore file for your own repository. 173737 3 opendarwin 2009-12-20 07:30:57 -0800 I just discovered that this was implemented in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/50325> for https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30951 I should note that nobody notified me of this. Also, the WebKit team should review its policy of closing bugs as WONTFIX. If you close a bug as WONTFIX and then actually fix the bug several months later without even reopening the original bug, something is wrong with the procedure. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 30951 *** 30425 2009-05-17 14:12:57 -0700 2009-05-17 14:12:57 -0700 Example .gitignore file gitignore text/plain 161 opendarwin L1dlYktpdEJ1aWxkLwoKKi5wYnh1c2VyCioucGVyc3BlY3RpdmV2MwoqLm1vZGUxdjMKKi5tb2Rl MnYzCiFkZWZhdWx0LnBieHVzZXIKIWRlZmF1bHQucGVyc3BlY3RpdmV2MwohZGVmYXVsdC5tb2Rl MXYzCiFkZWZhdWx0Lm1vZGUydjMKCip+Lm5pYgoqfi54aWIKCi5EU19TdG9yZQo=
