Having both global and local .gitignore [message #1829238]

Hi,

I am using JGit to fetch git status and I have both a global and a folder level .gitignore file.

I can configure exclude file using either one using:

git.getRepository().getConfig().setString("core", null, "excludesFile",
                GLOBAL_GIT_IGNORE_PATH);

How can I make sure both the global and local .gitignore files are considered for filtering files?

Any pointers in this regard is much welcome!

Thanks!
Srini
