I don't think I can make .gitignore files do the job, because

To me, it seems the opposite ;-).
I just tried to "git init" my $HOME, then "git status" takes forever,
but "echo '*' > .gitignore; git status" completes immediately.
Ok, I was confusing myself because of having added files inside
subdirectories of the ignored directory. I'm glad it works the
way it does. Makes much more sense than what I'd thought it was
doing.
