.gitignore with `/*` to check $HOME into Git

[Sean Whitton]

Hey,

I think the main risk here is that you could fail to realise what your
git commands are doing and accidentally wipe stuff out of your home
directory, which would suck.  I seem to remember Torvalds, or some git
documentation, expicitly saying not to have a git repo in your ~.

Perhaps the most popular solution among people on this list to do
something like what you want is to use RichiH's vcsh script coupled with
mr: <https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh> and <http://joeyh.name/code/mr/>.

HTH!

Sean
