I agree with you about vim-oriented patterns, because its a particular
tool, but "ctags" and "etags" be part of postgres source tree and its
generate some output inside them, so I think we must ignore it.

IMHO all output generated by tools inside the source tree that will not be
committed must be added to .gitignore
