title: fatal: cannot use .git/info/exclude as an exclude file
body: <p>I have a Laravel 5.3 project with its <code>.gitignore</code> file but when I execute <code>git status</code> I get this message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: cannot use .git/info/exclude as an exclude file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have executed this command to say where the <code>.gitignore</code> is</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global core.excludesfile C:\xampp\htdocs\codehacking5.3\.gitignore
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But does not work.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea please?</p>
