It was completely intentional. It might not have been the best choice. I wanted to keep a way to cancel the defaults by giving your own list of what you want to ignore. > Better yet might be to keep the default ignores always and add an explicit > unignore option. I wanted to keep some similarity with the behaviour of -i but that might not be a good idea. After all -I was always allowed to be used multiple times while -i was not. Not sure what the best interface is. unignore doesn't allow to drop all the defaults ignore but only those that you know of. OTOH, you're more likely to want to not ignore a specific file type rather than all.
