+# To use in your project, import this file in your git repo's toplevel,
+# then do "make -f git.mk".  This modifies all Makefile.am files in
+# your project to include git.mk.
+#
+# This enables automatic .gitignore generation.  If you need to ignore
+# more files, add them to the GITIGNOREFILES variable in your Makefile.am.
+# Note that for files like editor backup, etc, there are better places to
+# ignore them.  See "man gitignore".
