So i dont use git directly for source control either - My team use source tree which is part of atlassian as we use alot of there other tools for dev and testing. Now ive never used TFS but i can only assume it works in a similar manor as all other source control tools do.
Now for me i use the same file as the one found in this thread (the top one) - when it comes to .gitignore its all about what works best for you and your project.
If this doesnt work for you - you may also want to have a read of this
