The Linux Kernel has .* as global ignore rule, which makes .config*
files ignored. Sticking to the already existing .config as prefix for
other configs makes it faster to rename/copy the .config because of the
filename completion.

Not officially, but maybe as common convention.

If you don't want to add it, it's OK. I will then submit a patch myself,
since I think this is just the most common way to keep backup config
files around.
