a bunch of .gitignore files strewn around the various rpm-related directories, which don't actually help anything so far as I can tell

The build system was/is/may expect some of these directories to exist. So the .gitignore trick would force the directories to be preserved in git, even if empty. I am not sure if this is still needed though.
I will take a look, although I suspect this may be needed by rpmbuild itself.

> When I imported the source, I forgot to remove .gitignore files, so we've got a bunch of them sitting around. I need to prune those out.
