Does Rails not provide a way to customize the scaffolding used to make a new app, without forking?

  It does have some features to do this, but the point is that the default operation is simply broken for many, many people. That suggests that it should not be the default.

  Yes, you can using `rails new app_name -m template_name`. But that would be way overkilled, here, because we just speak of adding a line to the .gitignore file. If you don't know git, .gitignore is a file you're expected to edit, you put there anything you don't want to commit in the repository. So, once again, all the trolling is about changing a default option. Which can be changed back with one line of four characters ("/bin"), in a configuration file. Change to be made only once in the whole life of your application.
