Pants

Noticed some weird behavior with pants that I thought I would bring up. I have a messy monorepo, and after running `pants tailor` in the repo I ended up with a `BUILD` file in `.git/logs/refs/remotes/origin` . Contents of the `BUILD` file:

```python_sources()```
We have sort of a complex branch naming scheme, so I'm wondering if `pants tailor` saw a file in that directory that it thought was a python file and thus dumped a `BUILD` file in that directory? I'm wondering how `pants tailor` works its magic under the hood ...

Hm, `.git` should be ignored by default. Are you able to share the `GLOBAL` section of your `pants.toml`?

```[GLOBAL]
pants_version = "2.11.0"
pants_ignore = [
    "/infra/deployments",
    "/infra/postgres_maintenance",
    "/alembic",
]
backend_packages = [
    "pants.backend.python",
    "pants.backend.python.lint.black",
    "pants.backend.python.lint.isort",
    "pants.backend.docker",
    "pants.backend.docker.lint.hadolint",
]```

Ah, use `pants_ignore.add` to preserve our default. Definitely a gotcha

```pants_ignore.add = [...]```
to clarify
