Re: wishlist: git gui not listing untracked files in unstaged list

This is an inconsistency in the way that tilde-expansion is handled. The
core.excludesfile config variable is expanded internally with the
"pathname" magic (git_config_pathname). But handing the filename
directly to ls-files --exclude-from does not do that expansion.

So either there is a bug in ls-files, which should expand from the
command line, or one in git-gui, which should be using "git config
--path core.excludesfile" to get the path.

I'd say its git-gui, yes?  Doesn't my shell automatically do
--exclude-from=~/my.list for me?  Its not the command's job
to do that expansion.

I'd agree.
