    This file can be optionally built, and is helpful in navigating the source tree, but should never be checked in.

    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
