Personally I think a lot of the random rubbish in
our .gitignore is bogus and should be removed.
Basically anything that's an editor dropping or
.patch or TAGS file or similar is a local workflow
thing and should be dealt with by setting up a global
ignorefile in your local git config. The only
things in the .gitignore in the public repo should
be files which QEMU's build process itself creates.
But I know not everybody agrees with this, which is
why all this stuff is in the .gitignore :-)
