It might be that once there is too much of it there might be some false positives and it is harder to maintain.

The reasoning to keep 'tags' ignored is because we ship .ctags, but generally tooling files should be ignored by "personal" .gitignores as we can't cover all of it especially if we don't configure it.Agreed, I see we have ignores for vim and emacs, but honestly these could be removed as well because everyone can just edit `.config/git/ignore` and put the files created by their favorite editor into that file and it will work for every project you participate in. Pavel> Martin, do you remember the reasoning there?
No, not really, it was most probably what others said above. I don't remember having issues with those ignores, it might've been an end to some discussion we had, not sure. Even though I don't have issues with tool-specific gitignores being there I copied all the non-libvirt related ignores from our .gitignore to my existing ~/.config/git/ignore and I know I'll be fine in other projects as well. Maybe we were trying to help others learn this "trick" to help them in other repositories.
I guess the reasoning for editor temp files is to prevent mistakes as those are basically to be present for everyone trying to edit the project. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
