Sorry, of course. But it is definitely recommended to do out-of-source 
buildings ;-)

But they are installed by CMake-Install, in case you are referring to 
the version.h etc?

So technically there should be no explicit need to do so, at least this 
always worked like a charm for me (And I'm relying on those files when 
finding the correct OSG-Version from another CMake project)

I'm not arguing that using CMake prevents you from doing in-source 
building, but I guess only a fraction of people is doing this.
Even if the majority is using it this way, I would still advocate for 
not adding the VS specific entries to the .gitignore file.
