If no .bowerrc file is found in the current folder it seems to lookup if one exists in parent folders. Thus, we need to use .bowerrc in order to avoid problems.
If there are no further comments or suggestions for #2386 then I think it would be good to get this in. Remove .bowerrc from base repo but allows it to still be used for people with specialised dev environments by adding to .gitignore
