git add -i fails to heed user's exclude settings
Inside git add -i, option 4 "add untracked", it doesn't seem to consider the user's personal ignore patterns, which is _really_ annoying.
E.g., I have:
$ git config core.excludesfile /home/miles/.gitignore
$ cat /home/miles/.gitignore [+,#]* *~
$ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)
$ git add -i
staged unstaged path*** Commands ***
1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked
5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help
What now> 4
1: ,l
2: ,l.~1~
3: AUTHORS.~1~
4: Makefile.am.~1~
5: config.h.in~
6: configure.ac.~1~
...tons of other random backup files etc...This makes it very hard to find files that actually need to be added!
Thanks,
