OK, I understand.  I though of a glimpse on the actual proposed text
of the file (since you have something working?)

You can always go on and we will revert or amend if there is something
wrong or anybody vetoes. Though my two requirements would be, as I
mentioned

Looking at [1] there are some differences vs. svn:externals. One is
that the patterns are actually global ones, like ".svn",  or "*~".

I wonder whether it will affect modules which is a subdirectory of
trunk at the moment.

man gitignore(5) at [2] also says "Patterns which a user wants git to
ignore in all situations (e.g., backup or temporary files generated by
the user’s editor of choice) generally go into a file specified by
core.excludesfile in the user’s ~/.gitconfig."

mostly what we ave already ignored with svn props : eclipse-sepcific files, the logs, work, temp directories...

Otherwise, one can also run
git svn show-ignore >> .git/info/exclude

which saves a list of things that are ignored by svn to a local file that will not be committed.
Though it works, it is local to each repository and thus each developer should run the command too...

Congratulations.

I am not bothered much, though

1) it need to have ASL header
2) it probably should be omitted from src distributions

I googled whether other projects have it, "gitignore site:svn.apache.org"
here is some random example:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/mapreduce/branches/MR-279/.gitignore

What content will be in your version of the file?

I just did my first commit on tomcat using git, it seems to work.

does it bother anyone if I add a .gitignore file in the SVN repository ?

I used it some time for the httpd sources. I like that it is easy to 
transfer commits from the local repos to the ASF svn including commit 
log entry. The patch format is also nice.

git-svn uses the svn perl bindings which produce crashes every now and 
then, at least on my system. I didn't have any situation where the crash 
left over inconsistent files or incomplete transactions. The crashes 
happen during process cleanup.

Overall I liked it.

Rainer
