commit adb03996c78facee9ada612228424ff3dd54a03d
Author: Bradley M. Kuhn <bkuhn at ebb.org>

    Consensus was reached to remove editor-specific globs from .gitignore.
    
    In a highly overengineered discussion out of scope with the actual breadth
    of this very minor issue, everyone has come to the conclusion that
    editor-specific globs don't really belong in the project's .gitignore,
    given that git permits a global-level ignore file for users.
    
    Instead, a HACKING file is herein added, with its first entry to explain
    how developers can set the own global gitignore.

+
+Git Ignores
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The +.gitignore+ file for the project level should only have files that
+are generated by the build or install processes of Evergreen itself.
+
+Often, users of various text editors may want to ignore the backup or
+autosave files.  Evergreen recommends putting this not in the project's
+.gitignore, but into the global ignore files for their git configuration.
+Below is how to do this for various editors.
+
+Creating A Global Git ignore file
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A useful tutorial on this issue can be found
+http://programblings.com/2008/10/22/git-global-ignores/[in this blog
+post].  The basic, command, however, is as follows:
+
+[source,bash]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+git config --global core.excludesfile /path/to/my/global/gitignore
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Many people like to use +~/.gitignore+ for +/path/to/my/global/gitignore+.
+
+Git Ignore Emacs Autosave/backup files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To ignore Emacs autosave/backup files, put the following lines in your
++/path/to/my/global/gitignore+ file.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*~
+\#*#
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Note the need of a backslash before the pound sign above, which is needed
+since pound usually is a comment in a +gitignore+ file.
+
+Git Ignore Vim Autosave/backup files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To ignore vim autosave files, put the following lines in your
++/path/to/my/global/gitignore+ file.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*.swp
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Note that vim sometimes creates more files of similar names, so you may want this:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*.s[vw][a-z]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
