I don't see this as an improvement. What's wrong with a .gitignore file ignoring everything?

That's mainly a matter of code maintenance style (and I am on the side that a minimum number of folders in a git tree makes things easier to follow), and IMO it is strange to not have some flexibility. Btw, the reason why this patch exists is this thread of last December:
