Hi,

I tried adding a global exclude file by adding this to my
~/.gitconfig:

[core]
	excludesfile = ~/.gitignore

The presense of this option seems to cause git gui to ignore _all_
untracked files.  For example, if ~/.gitignore is empty (or contains a
bogus ignore like foo), then git gui doesn't show any untracked files.

I'm seeing this on OS X with git version 1.5.5.rc1

+ seth
