I do use doc/.warning or similar in some projects files for outputting a warning when somebody simply types 'make', so he'll get instructions on what to do. Other people may even want to include *.o in their tree, because it's used by their program for another purpose. I do not think that a VCS should ignore anything from itself. If we generate a standard .git/info/excludes (or whatever the name of it is) and write those standard values in there, this is a different thing.
