[PATCH] git-status: respect core.excludesFile

From
Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date

Message-ID
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0705212251300.6410@racer.site>

git-add reads this variable, and honours the contents of that file if that exists. Match this behaviour in git-status, too.

Noticed by Evan Carroll on IRC.
