Don't remove .gitignore when Codeception clean logs

Sorry for my poor English, so the problem is:
When I have Codeception tests in my own project, I add `.gitignore` file in my `tests/_log`, because folder must exists, but all logs in it must be ignored.
But when I doing `php codecept.phar clean` it remove all logs and `.gitignore` also from `tests/_log` dir. I think it's problem, because first I need to create `.gitignore` again and if I forget to add it, all logs can be pushed in repository.
