HTML5 Boilerplate includes a basic project-level .gitignore. This should
primarily be used to avoid certain project-level files and directories from
being kept under source control. Different development-environments will
benefit from different collections of ignores.
OS-specific and editor-specific files should be ignored using a "global ignore" that applies to all repositories on your system.
For example, add the following to your ~/.gitconfig, where the .gitignore
in your HOME directory contains the files and directories you'd like to
globally ignore:
[core]
excludesfile = ~/.gitignore- More on global ignores: https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files

The cross-domain policy file is an XML document that gives a web client — such as Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, etc. — permission to handle data across multiple domains, by:
- granting read access to data
- permitting the client to include custom headers in cross-domain requests
- granting permissions for socket-based connections
e.g. If a client hosts content from a particular source domain and that content makes requests directed towards a domain other than its own, the remote domain would need to host a cross-domain policy file in order to grant access to the source domain and allow the client to continue with the transaction.
For more in-depth information, please see Adobe's cross-domain policy file specification.
