Can you ask "git log" and "git blame" whch of core.excludesFile and
"clean -x" features came earlier and by how big a difference?
Most likely this is because the exclude came much much later, and
either we forgot to teach the implementation of clean to pay
attention to it or (much more likely) the implementaiton is fine but
we did not update the doc, which was trying to overly be exhaustive,
doing no good (if the original just stopped at saying "... the
standard ignore rules read from the usual places", we won't be
having this discussion).
