title: Which files/directories to ignore in a Laravel 4 project when using version control?
body: <p>I have a <a href="http://laravel.com/" rel="noreferrer">Laravel</a> 4 project, and I would like to know which files should be ignored when using a version control software such as Git, Mercury or SVN?</p>
  
  <p>The structure of my project looks like the following screen capture.</p>

  <p>I'm pretty new to <a href="http://getcomposer.org/" rel="noreferrer">Composer</a> so I'm not very clear about what goes to a repo what not. If someone can post their <code>.gitignore</code> file or their SVN ignore property, it could be handy.</p>
