I think we can all agree, when a developer gets a project out of their source control system... it should successfully build.
Question: What extraneous files do you omit and which are you certain to add?
A:
I always leave out compiled files, which for me are generally of the .pyc variety.

A:
Anything that's generated from the items you check into source control.
Things I check in:
- Source files (usually .java for me, but can be other languages)
- 3rd party JARs
- Configuration XML or .properties
- HTML, CSS, JSPs for web apps
- SQL scripts
- Design (UML) and documentation (Word or HTML)
- Unit test classes and any data I need to run them
Things I don't:
- Compiled .class files
- Generated JAR or WAR files
- javadocs
- JUnit report HTML and results

Base artifacts? Excuse my ignorance, but can you elaborate?

@NTDLS - I'd guess intermediate artifacts of compilation (e.g., .obj or .class files)

It mean s- Leave out anything that can be automatically generated from things you are including

My global ignore pattern for TortoiseSVN is: *.vbw *.scc *.vbg */bin */obj *.bak *.user *.suo *.webinfo bin obj *.dll *.pdb *.exe which covers both VB6 and C#.
