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 (<1273958566-7328-1-git-send-email-avarab@gmail.com>). ---

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.
