I have my homedir in git too and also ignore just about everything. I ended up using gitignore as a whitelist instead of a blacklist, e.g.:

    /*
    !/.gitignore
    !/.gitmodules
    !/.gitconfig
    !/.zshrc
    !/.zshenv
    !/.zsh
    !/.tmux.conf
    !/.vimrc
    !/.vim

I have a close setup. It just needs a little trick to add subdirectories :

  /*
  !/.emacs
  !/.emacs.d/
  /.emacs.d/*
  !/.emacs.d/themes/
  !/.emacs.d/functions/

You can check my .gitignore here [0].
