Reasons for making this change
As of KiCad v9, a new
.history/folder is added in the KiCad project's project folder. It contains a local git repo that automatically gets committed to on every file save, storing a local history of file changes. It's a very neat feature, but it causes git to malfunction a bit (and mostly causes a lot of git warnings) until it's properly ignored (or setup as a submodule - though that's not the recommended approach).Links to documentation supporting these rule changes

project_dir/.history/README.txt, which explains the way this works.Here is an example of the folder structure that gets created with
.history, as of KiCad v10.Merge and Approval Steps
