gitignore changes

[Hadriel Kaplan <hadriel.kaplan () oracle com>]

Howdy,
I noticed myself and some others recently submitting changes to .gitignore, adding files we keep in our directories, 
such as our favorite editor’s specific files.

Being a git newbie I figured this was just going to be necessary, and wireshark’s .gitignore would grow to include a 
very large list of file names.  But in googling this I found that one can have an ignore file at the git global level 
as well, and even one for a specific repository without being committed/shared with others. (see 
https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files)

So it seems to me that we shouldn’t put our editor-specific or whatever-specific excludes in wireshark’s 
source-controlled .gitignore.
Right?
