Does the git build process call format-patch? No! The .gitignore we
distribute is meant for things the build process creates, not for
imposing a specific workflow on developers.

If you want to ignore format patch output, simply use .git/info/excludes
or a global excludes file, but please don't force everyone else to live
with that or work around it.

Cheers,
Michael
