That's very unlikely.

I tried hard to convince Thomas to switch from svn to git and the most I
managed to get is a git-svn mirror on github.

So I think is safe to add a .gitignore file.

In the unlikely case upstream switches to git, we can merge our
gitignore file with the upstream one. I have commit rights on upstream.
