RFC: removing Mirrors.masterlist from .gitignore in choose-mirror



Hi,

some background: choose-mirror is a bit special in that it fetches
during the source build (when online) an updated version of the mirror
list[1] and embeds it into the source package. The Said file is
.gitignore'd, meaning it doesn't show up in choose-mirror's git repo /
history. This also means it's difficult to track the differences between
releases, notice possible issues in the list, etc.

 1. http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/english/mirror/Mirrors.masterlist?revision=HEAD

I'm thinking about removing it from .gitignore, and about tracking it in
git, committing an update right before a choose-mirror release/upload.

Any objection or comment?

Mraw,
KiBi.
