I really appreciate that they bothered to set an artificial timestamp for these git commits, roughly 30 years before Git itself existed. The thing is, the other files do, too, and the .gitignore is full of hilariously anachronistic references.
# MightyMoose
*.mm.*
I could only find this: https://github.com/MonzUn/MightyMooseCoreLink to the file: https://github.com/microsoft/BASIC-M6502/blob/main/.gitignor...
Regardless, thank you Mr. Hanselman. This is great!

I don't think that the .gitignore file is meant to reflect anything about when this BASIC interpreter was written, it looks like it's just a MS managed .gitignore that accounts for everything that was ever popular for development in Visual Studio, even things that have been obsolete for decades. In order to handle your most legacy C#, F#, VB.NET, or Visual C++ solutions.
