and yes it sucks to use a whole block for a file that only contains
one character. Suggestions welcome.

can this be configured in the config file?

Yes, the file pointed at by the config key core.excludesfile is read
too, so we could have it point at $GIT_DIR/zitexclude, which would
allow us to spare a block. The most space saving would be achieved by
a core.excludepattern or similar key, which would allow us to get rid
of the exclude file altogether.
