Yes, so it seems. The per-directory ignore-files don't work.
"--exclude-from=" (aka -X) still does.

No, I honestly believed that Git-known files can be ignored. According
to Linus I must be wrong, but I have an excuse:
$ mkdir aaa
$ cd aaa
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
$ uname >abc
$ git add .
$ ls > .gitignore
$ git ls-files -X .gitignore
$ git ls-files -X .gitignore -i
abc
