Description David Zarzycki 2019-08-02 03:55:27 PDT 
Given a large project, somebody will periodically and accidentally try to commit build results, log files, caches, temporary files, etc. With SVN, these accidents were tolerable, but with git, these accidents negatively impact ongoing clone/pull/fetch performance and the storage consumed thereafter.

We should make an effort to prevent this from happening (by default), especially if we're still using git decades from now.
