Proposal for a .gitignore file about base

[hustcalm]

@ojgarciab
Great, I'm also thinking about that a .gitignore file should help a lot:-)

Maybe we should also write a good pattern to all the generated files, like:

    src/stable/components/basic_component/basic_component
    src/stable/components/basic_component_qt/basic_component_qt
    src/stable/components/basic_component_qt/gui/moc_gui.cxx
    src/stable/components/basic_component_qt/gui/moc_gui.cxx_parameters
    src/stable/components/basic_server/basic_server
    src/stable/components/basic_server/myInterface.cpp
    src/stable/components/basic_server/myInterface.h
    src/stable/components/cameraserver/cameraserver
    src/stable/components/cameraview/cameraview
    src/stable/components/cameraview_icestorm/cameraview_icestorm
    src/stable/components/colorTuner/colorTuner
    src/stable/components/followBall/followball
    src/stable/components/giraffeClient/giraffeClient
    src/stable/components/giraffeServer/giraffeServer
    src/stable/components/introrob/introrob
    src/stable/components/introrob_qt/gui/moc_gui.cxx
    src/stable/components/introrob_qt/gui/moc_gui.cxx_parameters
    src/stable/components/introrob_qt/gui/moc_stategui.cxx
    src/stable/components/introrob_qt/gui/moc_stategui.cxx_parameters
    src/stable/components/introrob_qt/gui/moc_threadupdategui.cxx
    src/stable/components/introrob_qt/gui/moc_threadupdategui.cxx_parameters
    src/stable/components/introrob_qt/gui/widget/moc_cameraswidget.cxx

    src/stable/components/rgbdViewer/rgbdViewer
    src/stable/components/teleoperator/teleoperatorPC
    src/stable/interfaces/python/

Instead of writing every generated file's name to .gitignore, any better idea?

Hi Lihang, thanks for your idea.

I think that proposed pattern covers almost all of those extra generated files:

CMakeCache.txt
CMakeFiles/
*.cmake
*.a
*.so
*.cxx
*.cxx_parameters
lib*.so.*
Makefile

After a clean clone, before cmake and make, there is those files without matching proposed pattern (qt related components are not compiled so cxx files are not generated):

    src/stable/components/basic_component/basic_component
    src/stable/components/basic_server/basic_server
    src/stable/components/basic_server/myInterface.cpp
    src/stable/components/basic_server/myInterface.h
    src/stable/components/cameraserver/cameraserver
    src/stable/components/cameraview/cameraview
    src/stable/components/cameraview_icestorm/cameraview_icestorm
    src/stable/components/colorTuner/colorTuner
    src/stable/components/followBall/followball
    src/stable/components/giraffeClient/giraffeClient
    src/stable/components/introrob/introrob
    src/stable/components/namingService/namingService
    src/stable/components/naoviewer/naooperator
    src/stable/components/opencvdemo/opencvdemo
    src/stable/components/recorder/recorder
    src/stable/components/remoteConfiguration/remoteConfiguration
    src/stable/components/replayController/replayController
    src/stable/components/replayer/replayer
    src/stable/components/rgbdCalibrator/rgbdCalibrator
    src/stable/components/rgbdManualCalibrator/rgbdManualCalibrator
    src/stable/components/rgbdViewer/rgbdViewer
    src/stable/components/teleoperator/teleoperatorPC
    src/stable/components/visualHFSM/visualHFSM
    src/stable/interfaces/cpp/
    src/stable/interfaces/python/

Maybe it's a good idea to ignore executable names, but I think that it is more important ignore interfaces directory (cpp and python) to avoid uploading them for a mistake.

I'll add your contribution (*.cxx and *.cxx_parameters) and interface directories.

Thanks.
