Vcsh currently reads the ignore & attribute data from files located at $VCSH_BASE/.gitignore.d/$VCSH_REPO_NAME and $VCSH_BASE/.gitattributes.d/$VCSH_REPO_NAME (respectively). I prefer to keep $HOME as uncluttered as possible and organize application configurations into application-specific configuration directories (using the XDG) specification defaults:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/.gitignore.d/$VCSH_REPO_NAME
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/.gitattributes.d/$VCSH_REPO_NAME

Would it be possible to add support for these paths?

Just checking back in. Any chance to get support for these? :)

I tested the patch provided by @miramir (#203). This works for me.

It would be nice of course, to have $XDG_CONFIG_HOME as the default for the variables for newly created vcsh-repositories.

See also my comments in #203, I would like to see this fixed too, although issues of migration are of course sensitive.
