+ your personal info (user.*)

+ various global personal preferences for tool operation
  (diff.renames, branch.autosetupmerge, apply.whitespace)

+ core.excludesfile = ~/.gitignore

  ... then in ~/.gitignore, put filenames to ignore that are related to
  your personal habits or tool preferences rather than any particular
  project (e.g., "*~" if you use emacs; I also put ",*" because I use
  that pattern for scratch files)

+ command aliases (alias.*)
