[PATCH] gitgnore: tweaks for stgit

[Dario Faggioli]

so that the temporary files stgit creates and uses (for
commit changelogs and cover letters) do not pollute the
output of `git status'.

Since this is only needed by people using stgit I'm wondering if those
rules would be better placed on .git/info/exclude (which is not public).

Well, there are stuff like cscope related entries and ctags related
entries in .gitignore, relevant only to people using cscope and ctags,
and that's why I put these two there too.

Anyway, I've got no particular issue in moving them somewhere else
(except finding out what .git/info/exclude is and how it works :-P)

I wonder why they shouldn't be in the stgit user's ~ somewhere.
