I'm bit annoyed that my jetpack git tree is always dirty with files in python-lib. Here is my git status 

(addon-sdk)➜  ~VIRTUAL_ENV  (contentScriptFile@612716) git status

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) 

Can we add python-lib to .gitignore ?

Oops just noticed comment in .gitignore file

# If you want to add other files here, like *.pyc and *.DS_Store,
# please add them to a global git ignore file.
