Subject: Files not .gitignored when contributing to Guix

Hi Guix!

When running the setup steps to prepare a patch, I find myself with a
dirty repository of changed files. Is this expected behaviour?

I couldn't find guidance regarding that on the manual or the mailing
list archives (only a similar issue[0]), and I wonder if is there a way
to avoid it, or should I just get used to it? Is there something missing
for things being this way that I didn't get yet?

The output of make spits some warning regarding outdated .po files. If
the dirty files are generated, should they even be commited in the
repository if they are derived data? Looking at the diff, it confirms
this hypothesis: the diff of the .po files contain mostly generated
translation strings and timestamps.

The setup steps I use are:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cd $GUIX_REPO
git clean -ffdx
guix environment guix --ad-hoc help2man git strace
./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var
make
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

At the end the dirty files are:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ git status

I'm looking to a better way to handle this situation (that I find a bit
of a nuisance right now) or maybe just an explanation behind the way
things currently are.

Thanks :)
