It just keeps the git history cleaner and I'd say it's a rather common thing to do for git based open source projects.

But if you don't plan to add one no problem of course.
Yeah, I know what .gitignore is supposed to do, but I've never been able to get it to work properly.

Besides I ONLY check in changes to .cpp and .h files (and very occasionaly resource files) now that the project has stabilized, so there should be no problem, there won't be any updates to non relevant files.

Can you please remove the branch, or do I have to do that ?
