This doesn't seem like a particularly good idea.  The project policy is
to exclude only files that would normally appear during a build, and not
cruft that might be generated by unexpected events.  You might consider
excluding such files in a personal ~/.gitconfig, if you would prefer to
have git not tell you that your source tree is cluttered with them.
See the core.excludesfile setting.
