To keep the output of git-status clean.  I need to do a "make clean" in order 
for git-status to give me meaningful results.

Another reason for .gitignore is to avoid accidentally including target files in 
a patch.

Hmmm... git-status doesn't show the LOG directory either.

If git-ls-files were updated to include empty directories, would you be willing 
to have .gitignore files?
