My first and hopefully only clash with the global ignore file was debugging why a project worked differently between machines. There was a global ignore on the machine I was working on (that I didn't place) that "smartly" tried to exclude "irrelevant" code / project files regardless of project.

I see version control somewhat similarly as I see traffic laws. Sure, they could work in entirely different ways, Germans like their autobahns, but breaks to the norm in an otherwise planar field are rarely arguable for.
