fresh install of 2.4.2 overwrites default gitignore

[mjdurham]

Steps to reproduce:

• clone repo
• checkout 2.4.2 branch
• composer install
• run git status

On branch 2.4.2
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/2.4.2'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   .gitignore
        modified:   COPYING.txt
        modified:   LICENSE.txt

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        .docker/
        .editorconfig
        .htaccess
        .htaccess.sample
        .magento.env.md
        .php_cs.dist
        .user.ini
        CHANGELOG.md
        Gruntfile.js.sample
        LICENSE_AFL.txt
        LICENSE_EE.txt
        README_EE.md
        SECURITY.md
        app/
        auth.json.sample
        bin/
        dev/
        docker-sync.yml
        generated/
        grunt-config.json.sample
        lib/
        mutagen.sh
        nginx.conf.sample
        package.json.sample
        php.dev.ini
        phpserver/
        pub/
        setup/
        var/
        vendor/

Now there are a ton of untracked files. If I revert the .gitignore change then git is happier. This only happens on 2.4.2 branch

This seems to be bug in the core magento repo here magento/magento2#32888

I used the workaround documented there
