Remove .gitignore from bower package

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

It should not ignore the dist directory when chartjs is installed using bower.

Context

We check-in the dependencies into our source control, because we don’t mirror bower packages locally on our servers. When we add Chart.js as bower dependency, the dist folder got ignored from the source control, because of the .gitignore in the bower package. Is it possible to remove the file in the bower package, or is it needed?

Environment

Chart.js version: 2.4.0

@simonbrunel I don’t have a problem with trying it. I don’t think it will break anything, but a quick google couldn’t confirm that.

I don’t think we want to deal with a different repository and change our automated build process for this specific bower use case. Having .gitignore in bower.json looks like the way to go, so we can definitely try this for 2.5. @chartjs/maintainers do you see any (compatibility) issue with that approach?

Still, git add --force would solve your issue immediately.
