Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] git-svn: use `svn:global-ignores` to create .gitignore

From: "Alex Galvin via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2024 20:47:37 +0000

From: Alex Galvin <[email-masked]>

`svn:global-ignores` contains a list of file patterns that should
not be tracked in version control. The syntax of these patterns is
the same as `svn:ignore`. Their semantics differ: patterns in
`svn:global-ignores` apply to all paths under the directory where
they apply, while `svn:ignore` only applies to the directory's
immediate children.
