syncing .gitignore between repositories

Hi,

We have dozens of repositories now. It's probably good that they are
separate, but many of them have similarities in configuration, that
should be synchronized.

One of these is .gitignore. The content of this file is probably very
similar in most repos. Did anybody think about synchronizing it
somehow?

I don't know of any easy way to do this.

As a workaround, you could configure your git client to use a global
ignore list:

$ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignores

Then edit that file and add whatever you want :-D

Or if you are using the subgits command [1], you can configure just the
repositories in the tree with:
subgits config core.excludesfile ~/git-mediawiki/mediawiki-gitignores
