When in doubt, look for precedence.
grep will show changes to other .git* files were listed in ChangeLog:
$ grep "\.git" ChangeLog* gdb/ChangeLog*
ChangeLog: * .gitignore: Import from gdb repository.
ChangeLog: * .gitignore: New file.
gdb/ChangeLog-2011: * .gitignore: New file.
gdb/ChangeLog-2012: * .gitignore: Add go-exp.c.
gdb/ChangeLog-2012: * .gitignore: Ignore more files.
gdb/ChangeLog-2012: * .gitignore (/gdbtui): Remove.
gdb/ChangeLog-2013: * .gitignore: Add /gcore.
Likewise 'git log .gitignore gdb/.gitignore'.
