I have set up a global gitignore, and it works for me. 
% git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
(Amusingly, I had _already- set a global gitignore, but I had forgotten it 
existed, and it didn't ignore these IDE files.)

I agree that we should not put IDE entries in the CPython .gitignore. 

I also think it's a good idea to add the points Inada mentions in the developer 
doc somewhere. That should include the Git global ignore idea. I see Berker's 
point that the Devguide shouldn't get too big, but it also shouldn't leave out 
useful information. There's a balance to strike.

I think that's the topic of a different issue, however.  I'll open that when I 
get back to this.

In the meantime, if someone searches the issue database for "gitignore", they 
will find this discussion. That's helpful.

Thank you both for your responses, Inada and Berker.
