This is exactly how I would expect it to work. And I like the '--all' option, too.
The only thing is if anything better than a list like 'ignore-glob' can be proposed. In my case it's just a few files, so such a list would be enough. However, I can imagine that someone has a large repo and needs to set no-autocommit to more than 10 files. Then maintaining an 'ignore-glob'-like list may become a pain.
