OK for both .gitignore files. I was nit-picking on myself whether to have one gitignore file for the entire gdb project, or multiple ones. I like one because all the information is grouped in one single file. On the other hand, this has several drawbacks: merging conflicts are more likely, and renaming a directory inside GDB means that the global gitignore would probably need to be updated as well. Neither drawback is significant, but since we have patches that avoid them both... -- Joel
