What should NOT be under source control?

Question

It would be nice to have a more or less complete list over what files and/or directories that shouldn\'t (in most cases) be under source control. What do you think should be

Answer 1

Opinion: everything can be in source control, if you need to, unless it brings significant repository overhead such as frequently changing or large blobs.

3rd party binaries, hard-to-generate (in terms of time) generated files to speed up your deployment process, all are ok.

The main purpose of source control is to match one coherent system state to a revision number. If it would be possible, I'd freeze the entire universe with the code - build tools and the target operating system.
