yes I could (i confess I was not aware of this config var) but the fine manual says:

  In _addition_ to .gitignore (per-directory) and .git/info/exclude, 
  git looks into this file for patterns of files which are not meant to be tracked.

so if there was some way to _not_ consider the standard .gitignore &friends I would be happy to live with.

Greetings, Konrad
