.gitignore Is Inherently Sisyphean

Even without this pattern, I find it's already more often I have to ping authors about new files they forgot to commit than junk files bing committed... It's also much easier and quicker to spot something not belonging as opposed to something missing.

Not against the reverse ignore per se and you do you, just saying I'm not sure it will actually bring relief in the end now that you have to educate all the clueless authors on !-patterns in .gitignore whenever they repaint the lines instead (:
