[PATCH] Remove editor-specific droppings from .gitignore

Git's own .gitignore files should only contain things created by Git's
build systems, not editor-specific droppings.

See the discussion following the "[PATCH] Add git format-patch
produced patches to .gitignore" thread
([ref]).

Does the git build process call format-patch? No! The .gitignore we
distribute is meant for things the build process creates

Ah, true. I seem to remember a thread long ago about whether to
include editor droppings in .gitignore, but I can’t find it in
the git or lkml archive.

git’s .gitignore does not include .*.swp, \#*#, *~, indeed.

Thanks both of you, I stand corrected. Anyway, I guess this is a bug
then. It's the only thing ignored by Git's various .gitignore files
that isn't created by the build system.
