Subject: [RFC] per-user ignore file
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0707301612160.8054@iabervon.org>

It would be nice to have a per-user ignore file, so that emacs users can 
ignore "*~", "#*#", and ".#*". Probably this should be in the form of 
having a config option for additional ignore file names, so that the user 
can decide where to put it. (E.g., ~/.gitignore would be an issue if the 
user is tracking their home directory with git and wants to ignore some 
files in the home directory repository but track similarly named files in 
some other repository). Are there any fundamental issues with this, or is 
it just that nobody's been sufficiently motivated to do it?
