Comment (by meejah):

 Further discussion:

  - it was suggested that this could be a ".magic_folder/ignore" sort of
 thing (i.e. a directory) but then also we already have a .yaml file
 holding all magic-folders' config
  - is ".magicfolderignore" pattern common (or used at all) on OS X or
 Windows?

 To me, it makes sense to sync this file. exarkun also noted that maybe the
 concept of "global" config makes sense. This points more towards "keep the
 information in a file IN the magic-folder" instead of "in the YAML file".

 Cypher pointed out there other use-cases he'd like, for example putting
 avatars for other participants in here (to display in a GUI for example).
