Er, *.orig is already in .gitignore, you can see it in
the context here...

Also I tend to agree with the argument made by Stefan Weil
in the final comment on this patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/84320/
qemu's .gitignore should contain only entries specific to qemu
(files created by running makefile targets and the like);
generic things like .diff/.patch/.rej should be in your
local git config instead.
