Is it really the case? I recall that Linux kernel started shipping with the standard dontdiff file for everybody's use some time ago, after enough people wanted it included in the upstream release. Maybe you would want to read from both?

What darcs folks do is that they have a per-tree configuration (kept in ./_darcs, which is similar to our ./.git) that says which file is the exclude list, and by setting configuration item to point at a file which _is_ version controlled they can share the exclude file.
