When selecting to ignore a file, I'd like to see an option to add it to a .gitignore file in that current directory, rather than at the repository root.

This feature is supported by TortoiseGit via the ".gitignore in the containing directories of the items" option.

It is helpful when working with multiple project templates within a repo that can then reuse the .gitignore file, and for avoiding clutter and segregating changes from the top-level .gitignore.

Thanks!
