This looks like it is from the OCaml bootstrap days. ;)

gitignore: add comment explaining policy Based on rust-lang#63307 (comment), I added a comment what I think should be gitignored and what not. This is just a proposal, obviously. Also see rust-lang#53768 for some more discussion. The summary is that if there are junk files that you create locally and are fine leaving around (such as `mir_dump`), git has the option for you to add them to `.git/info/exclude`. Others might prefer to keep their working dir clean of those same junk files, so we shouldn't just ignore them for everyone. I then also cleaned up a few more things, but there were many things that I had no idea where they came from so I didn't touch them.

I was using this to have dirs git would ignore :(
However, it looks like I can maybe use the # prefix instead?

Just edit your .git/info/exclude to ignore whatever you want.

I keep forgetting why I don't use that more often.

…um,Centril keep the root dir clean from debugging We landed this before with rust-lang#63307 but recently in rust-lang#65630 the IMO bad ignore crept back in. If you regularly do graphviz-based debugging and you are fine leaving junk in the rustc root dir, please configure your local `.git/info/exclude`. But most people working on rustc don't work with graphciz all that often (I for once never did), and not everyone likes to have stray generated files in their source dirs. Also Cc rust-lang#63373 rust-lang#53768 @ecstatic-morse @Mark-Simulacrum
