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? -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - 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
