I'm not aware of any environment that stores files ending with ~ that are not purely temporary, but several build and other software that uses those for temporary files,

I suggest to have this in the default exclusions, similar to Thumbs.db (which is Win32 specific) and .DS_Store (Macos specific) as a quite portable definition of temporary files.

Thanks for the PR! Do you mind opening an associated feature request so we can gauge community interest and have open discussions there while keeping the PR focused on the actual code changes. With changing defaults like this we tend to be hesitant until there is enough community feedback for it. The feature request will also let us better track this work item.

Yes, that's reasonable and also allows to discuss more additions - #229076.
