I suspect that that approach is totally unacceptable. These out-of-tree
exclude pattern files do not have any semantic difference from the in-tree
exclude pattern files (.gitignore); it makes no sense to make them
syntactically different.
More importantly it is much harder to diagnose if you break people's
private configuration without introducing the same breakage to what's
available to wider public guinea pigs.
