title: When would you use .git/info/exclude instead of .gitignore to exclude files?
body: <p>I am a bit confused about the pros and cons of using <code>.git/info/exclude</code> and <code>.gitignore</code> to exclude files.</p>
  
  <p>Both of them are at the level of the repository/project, so how do they differ and when should we use <code>.git/info/exclude</code> ?</p>
