.vs directory and temp files within it are created once you open any of the
.sln, .vcproj or .vcxproj files (created with build command when PWD is
postgres/src/tools/msvc) in visual studio. It's a common practice that
developers use visual studio on codebase as it's mostly the default c/c++
files/projects editor.
So, it would be a common case for most of the developers with Windows
platform to add it in project's .gitignore.
