Short version: gitignore is a facility for doing something I don't want
to do.

Long version:

As far as I know, it has the following effects:

1. They don't show up as untracked when running git status. But I want
them to show up because I use that to determine the status which
includes which generated files are present.

2. They're not removed by git clean -f. While I always use git clean
-dfx to remove everything untracked because of other people's gitignore
files, I want git clean to remove them.

3. Should I decide to add a file listed in gitignore, I'd get one of
these annoying "I know what you want me to do, however I WON'T DO IT!"
git message which are (IMHO) much too common already. Needless to say, I
don't want that, either.
