Since upstream also uses git, you can put it in .gitignore, git add
.gitignore, and commit it. Other people will have it as well
automatically.

Recent enough git have "git ls-files --exclude-standard" to take
.gitignore and .git/info/exclude into account. Note that you're
supposed to type "git ls-files", not "git-ls-files" which is the
deprecated syntax.

And you have "git status" which shows you all of this in a more
user-friendly way. If you have this

[color]
        branch = auto
        status = auto
        diff = auto

in your ~/.gitconfig, then the untracked files will pop up in red to
warn you that you probably forgot to "git add" or to ignore them
explicitly.
