Given a large project, somebody will periodically and accidentally try to
commit build results, log files, caches, temporary files, etc. With SVN, these
accidents were tolerable, but with git, these accidents negatively impact
ongoing clone/pull/fetch performance and the storage consumed thereafter.

We should make an effort to prevent this from happening (by default),
especially if we're still using git decades from now.
