Subject: tools/testing: keep legacy generated files around in .gitignore file
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8429538c2c0420c65fbb4872966622b96ec36cea;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

tools/testing: keep legacy generated files around in .gitignore file

People keep removing generated files from .gitignore files even when the
files stay around.  Please don't do that: just because the file is no
longer being generated doesn't make it magically go away, and doesn't
make it suddenly be something that should now not be ignored any more.
