Problem is the normal .gitignore files must *not* be used in the second GIT_DIR at all, in my case it's for syncing so I need to sync almost all files (including stuff inside .gitignore), though I'd still like to retain some ignore files for second GIT_DIR, e.g. like in rsync the .rsync-filter file.
