1. It may be better to combine all these files into one
(.gitmeta) with different sections

Merging what has traditionally been known as .gitignore's
capability to attributes has been discussed, and I think it would
make sense in longer term, as 'this path pattern is to be ignored'
is just a special case of a more general attribute.

I tried to find related threads in the archives but failed. If
someone has a pointer handy, I'd appreciate it. Alternatively,
please feel free to just bounce related messages from your own
archives to me.

I am interested in this mainly because of a somewhat related idea of
honouring .gitignore/* in case it's a directory [0].
