When working with patch having .rej files to show up in "git status"
and "git commit" is a nice reminder to you that there was
some manual work to be done.

So unless git are educated to remind you by other means we should
keep the current behaviour and be reminded when we see .rej
files present in "git status" / "git commit".

In other words - I do not agree on applying this patch.
