IMHO, we should honor ignores in EGit as:

  per-repostiory GIT_DIR/info/exclude

  per-repository core.excludesfile (yes, really, it can be per
  repository, which overrides ~/.gitconfig setting of same)

  Eclipse global team ignore patterns

Just to be clear, I noticed you left out the global core.excludesfile
(from ~/.gitconfig) here. I guess this intentional?

Or should we combine the ignores from the global team ignores and the
ignores from the global core.excludesfile in ~/.gitconfig?

Either way, I full agree that we should honor all repository ignores
(whether they are in directory .gitignores, info/exclude, or given by
repository-specific core.excludesfile).
