Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
'gbp clone' provides a nice wrapper around 'git clone' that helps dealing with
packaging repositories.
now one of the things i need to do with many packaging repositories is to ignore
the /.pc/¹ directory created when maintaining patches with quilt.
as i don't want to touch /.gitignore (being outside of the /debian/ directory;
potentially conlicting with upstream's .gitignore), what i usually do is²:
echo "/.pc/" >> .git/info/exclude
it would be great if 'gpb clone' could do this automatically for me (probably
only if the source-format is set to "3.0 (quilt)" in debian/source/format)

¹ rooted in the packaging directory
² or rather: egrep "^/?\.pc/?$" .git/info/exclude >/dev/null || (echo "/.pc/"
>> .git/info/exclude)
