/results_* and /*.rpm in .gitignore (was: Source tarballs are being placed in git?)

For example, the rpmlint's .gitignore contains the
following¹:
/*.rpm
/results_rpmlint/
/rpmlint-*/
/rpmlint-*.tar.gz

Apropos: Many .gitignores only reference the source files,
i. e. not /results_${name} or /${name}-*.rpm. Therefore I
usually add the latter two to .git/info/exclude and I wonder
how others handle this.
Will fedpkg (and its backend) always create results_${name}
and ${name}-*.rpm in the top directory or is the destination
configurable? If the former, it would make sense to add
them to .gitignore "for everybody", e. g. recommend that in
the Packaging Guidelines. If not, I'd find it useful to
have "fedpkg clone" add them to the initial
.git/info/exclude.
Are there other approaches to have a clean "git status" dur-
ing "normal" packaging development, tests, etc.?
