Well, the bug claims it is 'painful' for projects that need files that
are ignored by default. Which I'd see as the actual problem. Perhaps
this kind of files should not be ignored in built-in defaults, but
rather in defaults generated to .bzrignore during init. That would be
easy for the user to override (even what about configurable template?)
