bower install bootstrap is a very convenient way to install bootstrap into a project. It includes the dist folder for js and css files and also includes the build tools. However by ignoring " .* " you are not allowing developers to download the configure files such as less/.csslintrc and grunt/.jshintc from bower.
These are crucial elements to building with grunt. Its likely best to either only serve the dist folder with a bower install bootstrap or include all the tools necessary to build bootstrap similar to a git clone. I suggest the latter.
Note: if there are crucial hidden files to ignore, implicit ignores may prove to be a better route.
