As such things are inherently local and specific to your own workflow,
IMHO they shouldn't go in the .gitignore in the repository.

Luckily -- unlike CVS -- Git offers another way to ignore stuff locally:
you can specify extra gitignore files in the configuration.

You can even do this globally for all your repositories. For that, add
to your ~/.gitconfig:

   [core]
        excludesfile = /home/<login>/.site.gitignore

and then create ~/.site.gitignore (or whatever name you prefer) with *~
and other local stuff you tend to have in your working trees.
