Just wanted to explain further  why I cared about this particular detail:

When contributing to projects using Yanel or Yanel itself this is a pain 
to see what changed and what
didn't once you have run the tests or fiddled with some of the bundled 
realms at
least once. one just stumbles over the same files one doesn't really
care about over and over (and the number of unversioned files even grows 
over time because of some
not-so-well behaving tests, but anyway).

It does not seem a big deal under the Unix command-line but under
Windows the otherwise indispensable TortoiseSVN shows all ignored files
*recursively* on svn status screens! And Simon said to me yesterday that
Eclipse does more or less the same when you use svn plugins! :(


Of course there are bigger offenders like the infamous "yarep-data"
directories that are always only partly committed, but let's start small...

Cheers,
