Subject: [PATCH] gitignore: report access errors of exclude files
When we try to access gitignore files, we check for their
existence with a call to "access". We silently ignore
missing files. However, if a file is not readable, this may
be a configuration error; let's warn the user.
For $GIT_DIR/info/excludes or core.excludesfile, we can just
use access_or_warn. However, for per-directory files we
actually try to open them, so we must add a custom warning.
