What about the new user starting with hands on, that is without
having read every line in the manuals and forums, without laying
down his detailed plan of action approved in a local poll? Give him
a warning on every commit that he has an empty or default global-
ignores line?
OTOH the default exclusion of TIFF, camera raw etc files should be
considered seriously ...
