Ditto, however I am more concerned about some accidental commit bloating the size of the upstream repo (which AIUI would remain even after a revert) than tripping over something unexpected in my downstream repo.

FTR, we already have a .gitignore in our downstream repo for much the same reason as described in previous comments supporting this patch.  If nothing else, it means we'd have a merge conflict when this went in, and we'd DTRT with it at that time.
