We already have core.excludesfile configuration variable which indicates
a path to file which contains patterns to exclude. This patch provides
ability to pass --exclude option to the git add command to exclude paths
from command line in addition to which specified in the ignore files.

This option can be useful in a case when we have a directory with some *.ext
files which have changes and we want to commit all files besides one for now.
It can be too annoying to touch .gitignore for this.
