In flutter/flutter#148018 you mention you're going to update the app template, you could alternatively make the change in each respective .gitignores so when you migrate the example project it matches? That's a lot more work though, up to you.

FWIW, my understanding of why we have this root
.gitignore
is exactly that: that it was a pain to update every single package every time something got added to the gitignore upstream in the templates.I don't love its existence, but since we already have it for this very scenario there's no real harm in expanding it to a new file. If I ever decide I dislike it enough to mass-update all the packages, it'll be the same amount of work regardless of the scope of the file.

I don't feel strongly one way or another, I'm happy to do whatever folks think is the best practice here.
It does look like plugins'
.gitignore
files have diverged though. For example:There was a problem hiding this comment.

Also, not every plugin even has a
.gitignore
(ex. https://github.com/flutter/packages/tree/main/packages/video_player/video_player_avfoundation) . I would probably just do the root.gitignore
