It is not _too_ bad to treat ~/.gitconfig specially and support reading
from ~/.$SOMEGITTTYNAME/{excludes,attributes} files.

That's what vim does --- its main configuration file is ~/.vimrc, and
there are also some supporting files in ~/.config/vim/.

Wouldn't that be a good place to start?

Correction: I meant "also some supporting files in ~/.vim/".

Sorry for the noise.
