Hmm. That would be nice. However, many of the test suites have other
files and directories in their .gitignores, so handling tmp_check
globally wouldn't move the needle much. And handling some generated
subdirectories globally and others locally seems confusing. For example,
src/test/regress/.gitignore currently looks like this:

Not having /tmp_check/ in the above would look like an omission, when
/results/ and /log/ are still listed.
If we could also handle results and log globally, that would be nice.
But IMHO those names are too generic to put to a global .gitignore. We
could rename them, but this starts to feel like more trouble than it's
worth. I'll just go and create a .gitignore for /tmp_check/ to
src/test/authentication.
