Re: [PATCH] Add git format-patch produced patches to .gitignore

From: Michael J Gruber <hidden>

Change Git's own .gitignore so that patches produced with git
format-patch don't show up as untracked.
Does the git build process call format-patch? No! The .gitignore we
distribute is meant for things the build process creates, not for
imposing a specific workflow on developers.

If you want to ignore format patch output, simply use .git/info/excludes
or a global excludes file, but please don't force everyone else to live
with that or work around it.

Cheers,
Michael
