For example, the rpmlint's .gitignore contains the following¹:

Apropos: Many .gitignores only reference the source files, i. e. not /results_${name} or /${name}-*.rpm. Therefore I usually add the latter two to .git/info/exclude and I wonder how others handle this.
Will fedpkg (and its backend) always create results_${name} and ${name}-*.rpm in the top directory or is the destination configurable? If the former, it would make sense to add them to .gitignore "for everybody", e. g. recommend that in the Packaging Guidelines. If not, I'd find it useful to have "fedpkg clone" add them to the initial .git/info/exclude.
Are there other approaches to have a clean "git status" dur- ing "normal" packaging development, tests, etc.?
