If you don't like this patch, then I will be updating my local
.git/info/exclude file; I could understand someone wanting to
reject this patch on the grounds that 'make' does not create
any temporary files under this name, but only my choice of
editor (and not everyone shares that choice in editor). So
I'll wait for an ack instead of claiming the trivial rule.

Well, don't we also ignore *~? That's created by an editor too.
ACK.
