t/helper: ignore only executable files This patch conceptually reverts 44103f4197 (t/helper: ignore everything but sources, 2017-12-12). Back in those days we did have a lot of separate test helper executables under 't/helper', and its '.gitignore' did get out of sync every once in a while. Since then, however, most of those separate executables were integrated into a single 'test-tool' command [1], and new test helpers are added as new subcommands, so the chances of that '.gitignore' getting out of sync again are much lower. And even if a contributor were not careful enough and submits a patch that adds a new executable under 't/helper' but forgets to update '.gitignore' accordingly, our CI builds would catch it in a timely manner [2]. Ignoring everything but sources has the drawback that building an older version of Git (e.g. during bisecting) creates all those executables, and after going back to e.g. current 'master' the usual cleanup commands like 'make clean' or 'git clean -fd' don't remove them (the former doesn't know about them, and the latter doesn't remove ignored files). So let's ignore only the executable files under 't/helper/, i.e. 'test-tool' and the three other remaining executables that could not be integrated into 'test-tool' (no need to ignore object files, as they are already ignored by our toplevel '.gitignore'). [1] The topic starting with efd71f8913 (t/helper: add an empty test-tool program, 2018-03-24), and leading up to the merge commit 27f25845cf (Merge branch 'nd/combined-test-helper', 2018-04-11).
