[CSC 330] Binary Files in Repos

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Some of you lost a few points for this on your last project and have 
already started doing it on the diffusion project.  Leaving binary 
executable files (like a.out or compiled binaries) in your repo is 
considered VERY POOR coding practice, reflects laziness, and a disregard 
for the resources that you have been granted. All that needs to be in 
your repo are the pieces needed to build your code.  Binaries can be 
acceptable if they are required pieces for the build process (like 
texture files in computer graphics), but outside of that just about 
everything else should be some form of text file.
