Given that we store build trees in other stuff in the root folder (a practice which I am still trying to digest), I think we should have some safeguards to prevent them from accidentally being comitted.

+1, this is weird and I was skeptical, but am convinced (thanks for spelling out the arguments here @kristina!)

This really seems like a natural consequence of putting build directories alongside subprojects. If we're not willing to add this gitignore it seems like we should recommend an external build directory too to avoid confusion.
