Subject: Does "git config --local core.excludefiles" exclude files in a single repository?
Message-ID: <A0DB01D693D8EF439496BC8B037A0AEF02C738@xmb-rcd-x15.cisco.com>

Will git ignore files in an exclusion file that is specified in a local ($GIT_DIR/config) "core.excludefiles" configuration option?

I mistakenly ran "git config core.excludefiles=<file>", and I was curious whether this command actually has any effect.

I know that "$GIT_DIR/info/exclude" is normally used for listing files that a single user wants exclude from a single repository.  And I know that "git config --global core.excludefiles=<file>" is normally used for listing files that a single user wants to exclude from all repositories.  But I didn't see any explicit documentation for whether "git config core.excludefiles=<file>" would exclude files for a single user in a single repository.
