I continue to question whether this is the right thing to do.
"defconfig" is really only the default name, and it can be changed to
anything by changing BR2_DEFCONFIG. So should we gitignore the default
name, but not any other name?

I'm for the principle of least surprise, and I would personally find it
odd that we gitignore the default name only. Since we can't gitignore
all defconfigs, I'd prefer to not gitignore any of them.

Best regards,

Thomas
