Should this perhaps be an option to the main "git" to append to the set of excludes? You can kind-of do this already with: git -c core.excludesfile=/path/to/whatever clean ... but of course you might be using core.excludesfile already. I wonder if that config option should take multiple values and respect all of them, rather than last-one-wins. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
