At least you want to get warned of new files you may have forgotten to put under revision control, and as said, you may want to mark the document tainted because of unclean checkouts. The easiest approach would be to have a separate directory for non-output related stuff like .tmp, .log, .tui, .tuo, .mp, then any other unversioned file would be a sign of unallowed modification.

in ctxtools you can find a more detailed list (*-mpgraph *-mprun, 
*..mpt, *.mpd, etc)

after we introduced the mpgraph name there suddenly apeared a similar file in the metapost paths; so, in order to prevent loading of that file by mistake, (e.g. when not using the prefixing) i create an empty one in the current path. the -mpgraph.mp plays a role in determining multiple runs when not in runtime graphics mode, but it does not need versioning
