These are settings that are specific to each developer, right? If I have N repositories with M developers and I need to add a new ignore pattern that's either and O(M) or an O(N) job, neither of which is significantly better than the other and both of which suck compared to the O(1) functionality that we had before when we could put the list on a shared submodule.
