Hey Abhay,

Thank you for the patch.

That sounds like a very, very specific problem. Which probably won't be
encountered by many libcamera developers.

So, this patch basically helps you as you don't have to see the `.cache`
folder in the list of untracked files, but as I said above, I don't
believe that too many other developers will encounter that issue. Which
means, that we have to decide between adding 3 more lines to the
`.gitignore` file for an issue, that will be encountered very rarely, or
keeping the `.gitignore` file as minimal and clean as possible.

I would prefer to keep the `.gitignore` file tuned for the majority of
use-cases. If you don't want to see that folder you could modify your
local `.gitignore` file.

Please tell me if I missed something else, which would make this patch
beneficial.
