Hello,

I've encouraged (new to me) problems with packaging the NetBSD sources with git.
We store in the CVS repos the following files:

src/external/bsd/llvm/dist/clang/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/llvm/dist/llvm/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/chat/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/src/crypto/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/src/drivers/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/src/radius/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/src/tls/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/src/utils/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/wpa_supplicant/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/wpa_supplicant/dbus/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/wpa_supplicant/doc/docbook/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/wpa_supplicant/wpa_gui-qt4/.gitignore
src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/wpa_supplicant/wpa_gui-qt4/lang/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/binutils/dist/bfd/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/binutils/dist/binutils/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/binutils/dist/gas/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/binutils/dist/gprof/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/binutils/dist/ld/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/binutils/dist/libiberty/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/binutils/dist/opcodes/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/gdb/dist/sim/testsuite/.gitignore
src/external/gpl3/gdb/dist/sim/testsuite/sim/bfin/.gitignore

This results in blacklisting the following files.

src/external/bsd/llvm/dist/llvm/projects/LLVMBuild.txt

Could we set a policy to prevent all .gitignore and .hgignore
files from being stored in the sources? This will make the life easier.

Thanks,
