Or, what we've threatened to do in the past: rename all unit tests to 
the pattern *-test instead of test-*, as a suffix is a lot easier to 
exclude via glob than a prefix.  And while we're renaming things, sort 
tests into separate subdirectories according to whether they are run as 
part of 'make check-unit' or 'make check-qtest'.  But until someone does 
that work, tweaking the .gitignore for individual tests as they keep 
getting added is no worse than what we've been doing.
