Subject: Some friendly comments in .gitignore
X-Git-Url: http://cgit.sxemacs.org/?p=website;a=commitdiff_plain;h=29e0443d270bf1b7d54ba68bfa61dd8a0ad974b9;ds=sidebyside

Some friendly comments in .gitignore

	* .gitignore: Add some comments and a header to say that we only
	want a single .gitignore in this repo, and how to test changes
	made to it.  Also, add a couple of tla-isms.
