It dated back to f8a9d42 (read-tree: further loosen "working file will
be lost" check. - 2006-12-04) when you introduced
--exclude-per-directory to read-tree, but not --exclude-from to
explicitly add .git/info/exclude. "read tree --exclude-per-directory"
is used in git-checkout.sh and the same logic is carried over to
builtin-checkout.c until today.

I guess it's time to add "read-tree --exclude-from". Not sure what to
do with git-checkout though. We may add an option to checkout to skip
either .git/info/exclude or .gitignore, or both.
