I'm not sure about the env var because it means that packages which wants a reduced list of ignored files (a list which don't ignore VCS files other than those used by git) can't easily use local-options as they would have to override the ignored file to ignore only local-options and git files.
What would be nice is a way to remove some ignored files from the default list of ignored files managed by dpkg. The problem of this approach is that any new VCS file ignore should in dpkg would need a new upload of git-buildpackage/git- pbuilder. The delay between the new file ignore and the new upload could be handled by allowing a user option or env variable specifying files to *not* ignore. If I sum up, what I'd like to see is a default set of files to *not* ignore hard-coded in git-pbuilder and a way to add more files to not ignore for the user (or maybe just a way to override this default set of files with a user- supplied one). Best regards.
