They were being added to the all of the Xorg repos; I just aided in
completing that trend.  (As I recall, I didn't touch the active
drivers with any of those wide, janitorial commits.)

Patch(1) and various emacsen are widely enough used by the devs that it
still feels more appropriate to have them in the .gitignore files.

At least until someone can show an example of a file we would legitimately
want in one or more of the repos which has a filename ending in a tilde.

And finally, I'm not sure the ~/.gitconfig support for excludesfile
even existed at the time of those commits.
