I have specify an excludesfile in my ~/.gitconfig:
[core]
excludesfile = /Users/fynn/.gitexcludes
This works fine for my OS X workstation. But when I sync this
.gitconfig to our Linux server, the excludesfile is ignored because my
home directory there is /home/fynn.
Is there a way to specify that in a portable way? I tried both
~/.gitexcludes and $HOME/.gitexcludes; neither worked on any platform.
git version on both platforms is 1.6.4
Thanks,
Fynn

Not in v1.6.4, but you can use "~/.gitexcludes" in v1.6.6 (which was
just released today).

That's great to hear! But since it can take some time to update git
on all machines, is there an alternative for now, e.g. a way to
specify all those exclusions in .gitconfig itself?

No, I don't think there is another way to specify excludes in the config
file directly.
