How can I get ack to ignore *.orig files?

Question

I put this in my .ackrc:

--type-set=DUMB=*.orig
--noDUMB

... but I'm still seeing files like main.py.orig in my ack results. I tried doing --type-set=DUMB=*.*.orig too, but that didn't work either.

For ack version 1.x

I found this worked if I removed the asterisk (from the Ackmate wiki)

--type-set=DUMB=.orig
--noDUMB

You can see what types of file ackmate supports by running (including those you've specified in ~/.ackrc):

~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/PlugIns/AckMate.tmplugin/Contents/Resources/ackmate_ack --help type
