From the manpage of bash:

FIGNORE
  A  colon-separated  list  of suffixes to ignore when performing filename completion
  (see READLINE below).  A filename whose suffix matches one of the entries  in  FIG-
  NORE  is  excluded  from  the  list of matched filenames.  A sample value is ".o:~"
  (Quoting is needed when assigning a value to this variable, which contains tildes)
