Split brain: Actually generate .gitignore patch

Close our FH onto the file, and run git diff to fill it with the
actual diff.  Add the file to series.  Use git add and git commit to
commit the patch to the private git branch.

Now most of the code to generate the .gitignore properly is present, I
think, but not debugged.
