my mistake, my last email should have read:

$ cd path/to/the
 ... work in that deep directory ...
 ... realize that file.txt in that directory needs ignoring ...
 ... know relative path of both desired ignore file and cwd ...
$ echo path/to/the/file.txt > ../../../.gitignore
     ... or with this script ...
--CORRECTION--
$ git ignore file.txt
