The “DESCRIPTION” section of gitignore(5) goes through it pretty
clearly [1]. $GIT_DIR/info/exclude (likely
~/src/catalyst/.git/info/exclude or similar for you) has the same
syntax as .gitignore, but it's not versioned.  gitignore(5) recommends
it for [1]:

  Patterns which are specific to a particular repository but which do
  not need to be shared with other related repositories (e.g.,
  auxiliary files that live inside the repository but are specific to
  one user’s workflow)

Cheers,
Trevor
