Some popular applications (for example, Phusion Passenger) leave `*.pid.lock` file(s). For example, when you type `passenger start` with simple express app listening on port 3000, it leaves the following files:
* `passenger.3000.pid` (removed when passenger stops)
* `passenger.3000.log`
* `passenger.3000.pid.lock`
While `*pid` and `*.log` are ignored, `*.pid.lock` remains unignored. Phusion Passenger is quite popular, and `*.pid.lock` file should be ignored.
[nyc](https://github.com/bcoe/nyc) is quite popular, and under some circumstances it writes to `.nyc_output` directory. This directory should be ignored by default.
