The contents of the macro directory are too complicated for git.mk to handle: the contents are filled by autotools and may change between systems or autotools releases; and we additionally ship our own m4 macros.
To avoid unnecessary noise on the `git status` output we should simply add an ignore file specifically for the macro directory.
