Oops, I accidentally committed my vim swap file. I have fixed this
locally.
Should we add *.swp (and a few others like *~, *.bak, *.orig) to
.gitignore to avoid this from happening again?
I think it's best if people put their editor's temporary/backup
files in their local gitignore, instead of trying to maintain a
giant per-repository ignore file that needs amending for every
user's favourite editor.
For example, in ~/.gitconfig:
[core]
excludesFile = ~/.gitignore
Then ~/.gitignore can contain:
*.swp
*.bak
*.orig
Thanks,
