Hmm, I'm in general not a fan and not comfortable with adding ignore
entries for local editing or development tools that are specific to
a user, and are not part of the build system, as these can be endless.
But then as you hint in the commit message, and which I had completely
forgotten as I don't use these, is that automake generates rules for
etags, ctags, cscope, etc, so I've added a commit based on yours that
adds all such currently known tag files handled by automake. Thanks!
And I just noticed that the .gitignore file contained an entry for vim
swap files, so I've just removed that one. (Instead people should add
entries in their .config/git/ignore file for files that they want to
be globally ignored, for local tools they use.)
Thanks,
Guillem
