+# LibreOffice project .gitignore rules.
+#
+# Do not add you pet ignore rule here, use
+# .git/info/exclude for per repo personal ignore or
+# in the file specified by core.excludesfiles in your
+# ~/.gitconfig
+#
+# As a rule of thumb:
+# File that are generated by configure or the build
+# but that are not deleted by make clean
+# can be listed here... These must be deleted by maek distclean
+#
+# Files that are generated by the build but deleted by make clean
+# should all be under workdir or solver
+# if that is not the case, don't hide it here, but try to fix it
+#
+# The intent is that after a make distclean, .gitignore
+# should not catch anything but possibly /src
