Completely side tracking thought: Have you considered ignoring whats-cooking.txt+ locally? WC+ is a local thing to your repo, so you'd want to prefer $GIT_DIR/info/exclude over .gitignore. You wish to ignore WC+ by git, so make it be ignored, instead of changing the git add rules. Your proposal feels like fixing the symptoms instead of the root cause. I can see (3) being useful as it narrows down the list by a lot, I would imagine. As I rarely use git add, but prefer git-gui, I have no experience though for git-add completion, but if you had one conflict after a bad merge you can just do git add <TAB> to get that file(?), so I guess people use it.
