I don't know about this.
I really want to know if there are reject files there if I am checking to see if my tree is clean.
This has caught many patch application errors for myself personally in the past, so I really don't want git to start silently ignoring those things.
People should delete reject file explicitly, as they are evidence of a patch that would not apply cleanly. If you abort trying to add the patch, fine, but cleaning up the reject files is part of that operation.
