I would point out that by using "hg revert", you deliberately want to
forget some local changes.

Besides, "hg status" is meant to show untracked files which could
*potentially* be tracked. It's not like anybody wants to track .orig
and .rej files, so having them in the ignore list is still the right
thing to do.
