May be *~ shouldn't even be in the central .gitignore.
Someone who doesn't use any editor which creates *~ files wouldn't need
this.
So we could limit .gitignore to project specific exclusion patterns.
Those who need this can add it to .git/info/exclude or a user specific
global file.
When I encountered a doc/.RULES.swp file
$ file doc/.RULES.swp
doc/.RULES.swp: Vim swap file, version 7.3
I used
$ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore
which added these lines to ~/.gitconfig
[core]
excludesfile = /home/fd/.gitignore
(If you want to track your home directory with git, you might want to
pick another excludesfile name, and use ~/.gitignore just for your home
directory.)
Then, I added this line to my ~./gitignore file:
.*.sw?
