I think a better choice than .git/info/excludes these days is ~/.config/git/ignore. Then it is associated with the user, not the project (which seems a better fit, since it is the user who is picking the editor; this should apply across all projects). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
