I vote for a default set optimized for build-related file but allow all

One could set up this locally, but it is a better experience for new
developers if they use common tools and don't hit a dirty repo. After all a
few more lines in .gitignore do not hurt...


Sounds reasonable to me.

Subject: [all] Should our gitignore files contain only build-related
entries?

Hi,

[collections] recently received a pull request [1] to add VIM files to the
gitignore file. Its currently gitignore contains only a few entries for
Eclipse ([lang] has more entries for Eclipse).

I remember asking something similar, and learning about the global
gitignore. But besides that, in the same thread, Benedikt suggested having
only build files ignored in our gitignore files [2], which I think is a
good idea. Our components do not follow any rule for gitignore files I
think. I normally check [lang] when I need to add a .gitignore to a new
computer, but just realized [text] and [lang] gitignore files differ
([lang] has a .checkstyle file under the Eclipse ignored files).


I'm okay merging the pull request for [collections], but then we may also
add the remaining entries from [lang] there... except this pull request
adds *.swp which is missing from [lang]. So should we add it there too?

Some days ago I used NetBeans to test a generics suppress warning message
[3], but we may have developers using it as main IDE too. Would it be all
right to merge pull requests for it too? Or for files generated by plug-ins
for Eclipse/IntelliJ/etc?
What about 1) leaving only files generated by our build tools, 2) add a
comment to the .gitignore file describing how it works with links, 3) add a
comment to
https://wiki.apache.org/commons/UsingGIT and/or to the CONTRIBUTING.md
perhaps with a sample global gitignore file?

Cheers
Bruno
