It's very common for .gitgnore to be checked into repos, so local customizations should never go there. Unsurprisingly, the FreeBSD ports repo also comes with a .gitignore file, see: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/.gitignore So you really don't want to touch this for your local changes. Like I suggested, I would place .sujournal in my user's global exclusion file, as IMHO this is very specific to the system in question (and as .sujournal is something you never would want in any repo). If you really want to store this for some reason inside the /usr/ports tree (and lose the setting, next time you do a fresh checkout and long have forgotten about it), you would place it in /usr/ports/.git/info/exclude.
