No, it's not about non-committed files. It's  about  files  that  get
forgotten  to be cleaned up because of errors / omissions / dead code
in the Makefiles.

I never felt the need for a .gitignore file; mayby you can explain
what you need it for?

It doesn't do what I want. For example:

	-> cg-status
	...
	? LOG/
	? board/amcc/yellowstone/
	-> git-ls-files --others
	LOG/cam5200.ERR
	LOG/cam5200.MAKELOG
	->

The first command shows me that there is a stale (empty) directory
left, the second doesn't.
