[llvm-dev] [RFC] change .gitignore for monorepo

[Peter Collingbourne via llvm-dev]

I proposed this before in https://reviews.llvm.org/D57400. At the time
there was some opposition to the proposal so I didn't pursue it further,
but I still think it would be very useful to do something like that so that
I don't have to continue to maintain my own exclude file.
