Subject: Fwd: Add git ignore as builtin

After seeing -e option in git config (open config files in editor)

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config

I decide it's time to propose to incorporate an alias really useful to me

git ignore

The repo is on https://github.com/albfan/git-ignore

basically:

git ignore <whatever> adds <whatever> to .git/info/exclude

and git ignore -e starts an editor to tweak your excludes

by default it operates con exclude file, but it can also work with
.gitignore using -i option

I find it invaluable for IDE project files, TODOs, test files...
