Lots of commands care about excludes (e.g., "add", "status").

Should this perhaps be an option to the main "git" to append to the set
of excludes?

You can kind-of do this already with:

  git -c core.excludesfile=/path/to/whatever clean ...

but of course you might be using core.excludesfile already. I wonder if
that config option should take multiple values and respect all of them,
rather than last-one-wins.
