Subject: [PATCH] chore(gitignore): ignore *.prev, the backup a rewrite leaves
 behind
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Nine `*.test.js.prev` copies reached main's history this week (#1878,
`ba2a2b3b`) and `git check-ignore` exited 1 on every one of them — nothing
ignored the suffix, so a scratch rewrite script's backups were fair game for
staging.

`*.bak` was already ignored, twice (`:2` and `:33`); the sibling suffix goes
beside it and the duplicate goes away.
