Why not put '.local' in your toplevel gitignore, and not commit an empty .local folder up to the forge?

Upstream never sees an empty .local folder because, as established, Git doesn't keep empty folders. This way, .local isn't mentioned in the top-level .gitignore. It's just that tiny bit cleaner.
