Mild nak.  We are talking about a source tree; there is no end-user
documentation.  Only the sources to it.

This is somewhere between a meh to mild nak.  "git grep" knows to ignore
untracked cruft, so this does not help nor hinder "finding" at all. Even
though I personally tend to value seeing frotz.o sitting immediately next
to frotz.c, some people may value read-only source tree more than that.
