I wrote a toy patch that did something like that a while ago:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/108671/focus=108842
I don't think there is any reason such a thing could not be included
with git (if it did something more interesting than just echoing its
arguments to .gitignore), but nobody has felt strongly enough about it
yet to actually write something polished.
