TeXnicCenter produces a status file named *.tps which holds information on currently open *.tex files and window positions. This most likely should not be checked in.
Ignore *.xyd outline files generated by xy LaTeX package (#3088)
The xy package generates *.xyd files whenever the commands
\MakeOutlines
\OnlyOutlines
\ShowOutlines
\NoOutlines
are present in the LaTeX source. These automatically-generated files
contain the dimensions of figures typeset with xy and are recreated as
needed. This is documented on pp. 15f. of the XY-pic Reference Manual
(1999/02/16).
As automatically-generated, temporary files, they should be ignored.
.ist files are makeindex style files, which determine how a
makeindex-generated index will look like. Therefore, they must be
included in source control.
The presentation software pdfpc [1] (which is handy for latex beamer slides) supports additional notes on the secondary screen provided by *.pdfpc files.
These can be autogenerated from latex documents with the pdfpcnotes package [2], thus should be ignored in a latex project (but not in others where they could have been created manually).

On Windows, when PDF is opened with Acrobat Reader, one gets following output:
! I can't write on file `document.pdf'.
Please type another file name for output:
If one simply presses "Enter" to continue, the file `.pdf` is generated. Since this is a common case and `.pdf` is never used as full file name, this file should be ignored, too.
When we use 'thmtools' package for creating 'List of Theorems', auxiliary file '.loe' is created, just as '.toc' for 'Table of Contents' and '.lof' for 'List of Figures'.
A precompiled header(`latex -ini`) compiled creates a `.fmt` file.
To speed up xypic's drawing, precompiled matrices are created with the `\CompileMatrices` entry in the preamble. This creates `*.xyc` files.
