Description
We started dropping binlog files in the project root directory during build. These aren't included in the default gitignore and will be checked in by default.

Research direction
Locate the default gitignore template used by the project and inspect how generated binlog files are named. Update the template so those build artifacts are ignored, then verify that a binlog in the project root is no longer reported as an untracked file.
