Add gitignore

[traviskaufman]

This commit introduces a gitignore file into the repo, adding *.log
for files such as npm-debug.log as well as the node_modules/
directory.

[traviskaufman]

any feedback on this?

I generally leave out .gitignore, .npmignore, and other such files from my repos (and keep them local), so I'm +0 on it really...

But: social coding. Isn't it generally a good idea to make it easier for others who also work in [forks of] your repo? They don't want to see node_modules and *.log files in their git diff or git status output. That's why the default node repos (generated by GitHub) include a .gitignore.

This would be a sensible thing to merge. Leaving out .gitignore from the repo is... unusual
