What is a pidb file?

And on that note what are the userprefs and usertasks file in regards
to version control. Should they be included in the repository or are
they local temporary files?

Thanks in advance.

userprefs and usertasks are used by MonoDevelop to store user-created
preferences and tasks that are not actually part of the solution.  For
example, the set of windows open when you close the solution are
stored here so that a developer can continue working where he/she left
off.  These files are very much user-specific and should not be
included in version control.  (I'd recommend using svn:ignore or
.gitignore to make sure they don't get imported.)

pidb files are cached databases for code completion.  I would not
recommend storing them in version control either.

(Note that this is more on-topic on the MonoDevelop mailing list than
the Gtk# one.)
