Just to be clear, I noticed you left out the global core.excludesfile (from ~/.gitconfig) here. I guess this intentional?

Or should we combine the ignores from the global team ignores and the ignores from the global core.excludesfile in ~/.gitconfig?

Either way, I full agree that we should honor all repository ignores (whether they are in directory .gitignores, info/exclude, or given by repository-specific core.excludesfile).
