We've defined *.opendb earlier in the file - should that be more specific? Or is the general rule good enough?

@shiftkey If we can specify a special case, then we must do it instead of common case. The extension is always .VC.VC.opendb for the case of new database engine.
The file with this extension is created only when converting old project with .sdf databases to new engine. When the project started already as new, only .VC.db is created.

It seems OK to me to shift to *.VC.db and *.VC.opendb, I do indeed see that the file always has the VC suffix.
I'd like to see if we can find anyone from the VC++ team to help. I can try to put out feelers, but I'm not sure I have the contacts :). Worst case, I'll just email Satya

Ok, I think I've reached out to the right people, but I kinda just sent an email to somewhere random and am hoping it works ;).

Apologies for the delay in getting back to this:
And temporary file with *.VC.VC.opendb extension (yes, two subsequent VC) is used for new DB engine when solution is opened.
This should be covered by *.opendb on line 79, right?

@shiftkey If we can be more specific, why not to? It is always *.VC.VC.opendb for temporary opendb created by Visual Studio. What if user will create its own *.opendb which must be in his repo?

@haacked My point is that VS 2015 only uses <ProjectName>.VC.opendb and <ProjectName>.VC.VC.opendb (latter only temporarily while the project is open in IDE) for its new databases. Adding *.opendb we simply ignoring all files with that extension, it can be user files too. I think it will be best to add *.VC.VC.opendb plus *.VC.opendb and remove *.opendb line.

If we add *.VC.opendb we won't need to add *.VC.VC.opendb. @anurse any objection to removing *.opendb?
Add *.VC.opendb to the .gitignore for the UnrealEngine for Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 users. This reflects the changes in the VisualStudio.gitignore made in github#1778 and github#1783 but is more specifically targeted at solving the issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34319008/git-issue-with-visual-studio-2015-update-1 .

Guys, please, add this or any other PR with *.VC.db line. There is VS 2015 Update 2 released yesterday with this database format by default. |

@vladon apologies for the delay, and thanks for the reminder! |
