ConTeXt generates .tua and .tuc files (utility cache) during each run. These files store document metadata between compilations and are not part of the source, so they should be ignored.

@gxono can you provide documentation for this change? I don't doubt these files should be ignored, but I have not been able to verify their purpose from a quick search through the ConTeXt documentation. |

ConTeXt generates .tuc files (utility cache) during each run. These can be removed using the command line [--purgeall](https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Input_and_compilation/Executable_scripts_and_auxiliary_files/context_script#--purgeall). ConTeXt MKII generates .tui and .tuo with the generation of [ToC](https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Document_structure_and_headlines/Table_of_contents). These files store document metadata between compilations and are not part of the source, so they should be ignored.
