Good point. That's a real problem.

I guess you could say that for this kind of usage scenario you only want 
to use the per-repository .git/ignore file, or maybe have some way of 
specifying the name of the .gitignore file per repository.

Hmm. I'm not sure it was a great idea. I still like the concept, but 
you're right, it's not without its problems.
