The previous version only looked at core.excludesfile for locating the
excludesfile.  So, when core.excludesfile was not defined, it did not
use the possible default locations.

The current version uses either $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore or
$HOME/.config/git/ignore for the default excludesfile location
depending on whether XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined or not.  As per the
documentation of gitignore.
