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?
