OK, so together with the homework Dscho did for you and what I wrote
earlier, I think you have enough information to answer the question
yourself.
That is, the code does *not* ignore, and the doc was trying to be
(overly) exhaustive but because it predates core.excludesFile, after
the introduction of that configuration, it no longer is exhaustigve
and has become stale.
Which would leave a small, easy and low-hanging fruit, I guess ;-).
Thanks.
