By default, fedpkg new-sources adds an entry for each tarball you
upload.  I find it simpler to just add *.tar.bz2 to my packages.  With
this, fedpkg notices that you have a pattern in the ignore file which
matches what it would have added and skips doing so.  An example from
one of my packages:

*~
*.rpm
*.tar.bz2
/.build*.log
/git-*/

For reference, the / anchors the match at the same directory level as
the .gitignore file.
