Indeed.

Oh, it's a valid position. But based on the .gitignore file, that
wasn't obvious to me at all because it covers *some* of the generated
files, but not all of them. I'll propose a cleanup in the other
direction, removing unnecessary entries that are not needed with srcdir
!= builddir, and adding a comment that you should build in a separate
directory.
