in ~/.gitconfig:

[core]
        excludesfile = /home/yourlogin/.gitignore

then, in ~/.gitignore:

.xvpics

and all your .xvpics will be ignored for all your projects.

(it's nice to keep such ignore list user-wide and not project-wide if you don't want to bother your collaborators with your choice of software).
