the current release-tarballs include '.gitignore' files in a non-git repository.
this is at best useless, but might create problems on the receiving side.
since the release-tarballs are created with "git archive", it is possible to not include selected files.
this patch, makes sure that no repository-configuration files (.gitignore, but also this .gitattributes) are part of the tarball.
it also excludes .travis-yml, in case you ever want to setup a CI :-)
