Sorry for including both tests here.
I forgot to remove the first test when we changed the naming
convention to 6X_name and not special-casing filenames with
dots in them.

I guess I'll resend w/out it.  I'll wait until wednesday
evening before resending to see if anyone spots any other
fixups.


The rationale for the original naming convention was that it
was arguably easier for users to spot what file they're
working on when playing games with dot.

compare:

a) !!!!!!_Makefile

b) Makefile_!!!!!!

and:

a) !!!!!!_diff.c

b) diff.!!!!!!.c


In both examples you already know what filename you're talking
about before scanning past any other information.

.gitignore would look like .!!!!!!.gitignore, which isn't too
bad either.

Anyways, not looking to bikeshed, so I'll wait to here what
others have to say and continue.  The patch is fine as-is too
sans the first test.
