@powerfulparadox I unsarcastically believe that there is a point for many products where this is true, and it's much earlier in the development process than most product managers think it is.

ebroda1855y@ElectroMantis Depending on the Build environment (IDE, Build Tools etc.) and the selected language(s) the gitignore might grow fastly. Have a look at the gitignore Repo at GitHub. There are some quite long gitignores. And maybe it also has some comments, empty lines etc.
