Support full .gitignore hierarchy

[kaste]

I think blitz only respects a local .gitignore file. It should support the full ignore hierarchy. Esp. user/.gitignore

I noticed some results coming in the other day from something that was from .gitignore. I dismissed it because I was targeting the search to below the .gitignore. To which I thought was the right answer.

example:

c:\gitRepo\.gitIgnore

Would not register if I set my search to

c:\gitRepo\src

Thanks for the report, I'll try and get this sorted. Could you check to see if it works right when you target up to a path that would include the .gitIgnore?

To clarify what I meant: support the whole gitignore cascade. Especially .git/info/exclude and ~/.gitexclude (the default value of core.excludesFile). I did not yet check if all local gitignores are used, e.g. that you walk up to the repo-root, and merge them, but clearly the global (system-wide) gitignores, in my case ~/.gitexclude is not read.

E.g. in the global gitexcludefile I have *.sublime-workspace etc.

Ok, I am learning something new today. I will look into that

Ok. It's here: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
