Hi, I found a patch to manage ~ in core.excludesfile here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/93250 It seems the patch was abandonned by its author near here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/93250/focus=94318 Was there any particular reason for dropping the patch other than lack of time? If not, I'll try to resurect it. (I have core.excludesfile = /home/moy/.gitignore hardcoded, and I have to edit it each time I teach Git to a colleague, that would be so much better to have the same value "~/.gitignore" for everybody ...)
