Hi, I think we should keep the .gitignore files, and revert the commit for this. The git/svn flame wars is still very hot in members@, but even if we will not have read/write git access, we will always have at least read-only git access at git.apache.org. Some people (like me) prefer to use git as their main tool, and we have a git repo at git://git.apache.org/gora.gitthat we should support. Besides, the release CAN and SHOULD include the .gitignore files for git to work correctly.
Normally, we do not need more than the top level .gitignore, but since for the build to work with ant, we needed those empty dirs at (gora-xxx/lib-ext, etc), and since git does not track empty dirs, the default way to add them to repo is to add an empty .gitignore. Now that we have switched to maven, we probably do not need some of those dirs, so I propose to revert the commit, and selectively do remove the ones not needed. One more reason to revert the change is that the patch for issue GORA-63 seems to be accidentally committed at gora-core/src/main/java/org/apache/gora/compiler/GoraCompiler.java. Lewis, are you using the git repo. If not, I can do the changes if you prefer.
