Ignore eww created url directory

[what-the-functor]

Eww creates a url directory inside of .emacs.d. This prevents updates because the git status is not clean.

Do you use the develop branch or does the url directory come from the master branch ? This directory should be fixed in develop branch so it is not necessary to add it to the gitignore file.

[what-the-functor]

@syl20bnr, I use the master branch. This directory is created when the user loads a page in eww, and presumably when they user views a git reference in magit (magit displays the committer's gravatar).

I cannot reproduce it. Are you able to reproduce it with a clean installation ? Do you think it is possible that the url directory has been created a long time ago while it was not set by Spacemacs ?
Do you have a url directory in the .cache directory ?

[what-the-functor]

I can reproduce this by viewing a git commit with Magit. In the Magit Log buffer, place the cursor on a reference, and press enter. I specifically reproduced this, by viewing 0283f64 in the spacemacs repo.

The following file is created within ".emacs.d": "url/cache/$user/http/com/gravatar/www/$guid".

Another way to reproduce this is to load a web page using eww.

You are able to reproduce it with a clean Spacemacs and .spacemacs file? All the files you mentioned here are in .cache directory for me.

[what-the-functor]

I just tried with a clean Spacemacs install, and fresh .spacemacs file.

• Rename .spacemacs.
• Quit emacs, and delete ~/.emacs.d.
• Clone Spacemacs to ~/.emacs.d.
• Launch emacs (emacs-plus 24.5).
• Select evil mode.
• After compilation, quit emacs, and re-launch.
• Add 'git' layer to 'dotspacemacs-configuration-layers' (no other changes to .spacemacs), and reload.
• View git status of ~/.emacs.d in magit: spc u, spc g s, select ~/.emacs.d
• View log: spc g l l
• View the commit at HEAD: press enter/return
  This is the point where the url directory is created within ~/.emacs.d. A cache entry is created for the author's, and committer's gravatar.

Thank you for the great steps, I will check them soon.

This is still happening on develop

[syl20bnr]

Thank you !
I have it occasionally and I cannot reproduce it consistently so let's ignore it.
Cherry-picked into develop branch, you can safely delete your branch.
