So did I. Then I noticed (while stracing git to diagnose the issue with git-add searching the whole working copy for .gitignore files) that the Debian-packaged git looked for /usr/etc/gitconfig. See <http://bugs.debian.org/420675>. Apparently few enough people use /etc/gitconfig that nobody noticed and reported that it didn't work. :) Why not make the defaults more resistant to broken configuration? - Josh Triplett
