Git Submodule info/exclude File Support

[tkn98]

This might be either a feature request (if git submodules are not yet supported) or is a report of a flaw (as support for git submodules is incomplete).

The idea-gitignore extension finds my global ignore file properly and does display it as "Outer ignore rules:"

Same is true for the info/exclude file within a project (typically the path is .git/info/exclude).

However if the project is a git submodule (e.g. the .git is not a directory but a file containing the (relative) path to the modules folder (e.g. ../../.git/modules) sub-folder of that submodule (e.g. ../../.git/modules/foo/bar) then the ext/exclude file is not displayed as "Outer ignore rules:".

Exemplary in this scenario, the file is:

../../.git/modules/foo/bar/info/exclude

If support for these files within the modules info exclude folder would be added, that would be great!

My git version is 1.9.1.
