+Subject: Remove *.orig pattern from .gitignore
+
+From: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
+
+commit 76be4f5a784533c71afbbb1b8f2963ef9e2ee258 upstream.
+
+Commit 3f1b0e1f2875 (".gitignore update") added *.orig and *.rej
+patterns to .gitignore in v2.6.23. The commit message didn't give a
+rationale. Later on, commit 1f5d3a6b6532 ("Remove *.rej pattern from
+.gitignore") removed the *.rej pattern in v2.6.26, on the rationale that
+*.rej files indicated something went really wrong and should not be
+ignored.
+
+The *.rej files are now shown by `git status`, which helps located
+conflicts when applying patches and lowers the probability that they
+will go unnoticed. It is however still easy to overlook the *.orig files
+which slowly polute the source tree. That's not as big of a deal as not
+noticing a conflict, but it's still not nice.
+
+Drop the *.orig pattern from .gitignore to avoid this and help keep the
+source tree clean.

+
+If you are someone who wants to ignore *.orig, it is likely you would
+want to do so across all projects. Then, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
+would be more suitable for your needs. gitignore(5) suggests, "Patterns
+which a user wants Git to ignore in all situations generally go into a
+file specified by core.excludesFile in the user's ~/.gitconfig".
+
+Please note that you cannot do the opposite; if *.orig is ignored by
+the project's .gitignore, you cannot override the decision because
+$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore has a lower priority.
+
+If *.orig is sitting on the fence, I'd leave it to the users. ]
