any qualms with starting a top level .gitignore ?  i'd have this be in the top 
level .gitignore, and do a few more subdir specific ones.

you're right ... that one is wrong.  there are a lot of generated .texi files, 
but there are many that are kept in the tree.  so i'll have to use more 
specific matches.

but the general idea is OK with people ?

  Don't forget to add ".gitignore" to .cvsignore!  But yeah, sounds like a
no-brainer to me.

That would be amusing but counter-productive.

i looked through .cvsignore and picked out a few more entries.  here is the 
top level file i'll commit if there's no other suggestions.

note: i know that one or two subdirs actually commit files named "config.h" to 
their tree, but that's a lot more of an exception than a rule.  so for those 
subprojects (looks like just newlib and winsup), i'd propose adding a 
.gitignore entry of "!config.h".

Already covered above.  However, the main reason I'm replying is to
note that binutils/sysroff.info is not a generated file.

like "config.h", i think this is an extreme exception and not "the rule".  so 
here too i think it'll be a better idea to add "!sysroff.info" to the 
binutils/.gitignore.

i'll follow up with sub-dir specific ignores after i merge this.  considering 
cvs is the commit tree atm, i dont think this is a pressing matter.

Is that even necessary?  Any files actually tracked by git won't be
ignored no matter what is in .gitignore (as far as I know...).

i use git to manage my commits/work.  the CVS tree only exists to actually 
push things out.  so i'd want the .gitignore files to be correct.

You can always use .git/info/exclude while .gitignore is not right yet.

ive committed this now minus the "dir.info" entry pointed out by Alan.  i'll 
start new threads for sub-projects.
