Though I also believe it would be useful.\n\nAn alternative to separate file would be to include it into .gitconfig\nas multi-valued key. Something like:\n\n[core]\nignore = *~\nignore = #*#\nignore = .#*\nignore = .*.sw[nop]\n\nand so on. Could be reused in .git/config as replacement for\n.git/info/exclude if desired.\n\n-- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz>\n"},{"id":"49135","messageId":"Pine.LNX.4.64.0707301638490.8054@iabervon.org","threadId":"9313","inReplyTo":"20070730203605.GD2386@fieldses.org","subject":"Re: [RFC] per-user ignore file","fromName":"Daniel Barkalow","fromEmail":"barkalow@iabervon.org","sentAt":"2007-07-30T20:43:56Z","receivedAt":"2007-07-30T20:43:56Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"barkalow@iabervon.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/55364219?v=4"},"body":"On Mon, 30 Jul 2007, J.
