The latest -dev-version contains a file ".gitignore"
I don't think it should be included.

Could you explain why you don't think it should be included?

Well, unless you deliberately added it :-) (I now see you did, on October 27, 2012 13:07)
I have never seen a gitignore-file checked in before.
Why would you? The project directory is not polluted with auto-generated or user-generated files, is it?
But if you have a meaning with it, it's fine. Then, I am only curious.

I added it so that the repo doesn't indeed become polluted with files I don't want there. It's completely harmless, so we'll keep it :)
