No, it is changing a much earlier line:

*.d

to say that this _particular_ .d is allowed to be committed.  It has
nothing to do with *~.

Still, I have to wonder if we really want to store these files in a .d
in the repository itself, or if we should store them under some other
file name and only at 'make install' time insert them into a .d at the
install destination.  It would clean up this confusion about the
.gitignore as well as the change to the 'find' command during 'make clean'.
