mini visits - only track files in the current dir or its children

[beaumccartney]

I tend to use goto-definition a lot to look at system libraries and things - what is the simplest way to have mini.visits only track files that are children of PWD and not ignored in git?

There are at least two approaches here:

• Create an autocommand on BufAdd which sets vim.b.minivisits_disable if it doesn't fit requirements for being tracked. This is doable and does directly what you want.
• A slightly alternative solution would be to define your own config.store.normalize function which removes unwanted path entries. This looks like a slightly cleaner and more performant approach, but it means that unwanted paths will be in index before normalization is done (during writing to disk or manually calling normalize()). Here is a snippet which removes non-children entries:

local visits = require('mini.visits')
local default_normalize = visits.gen_normalize.default()
local normalize = function(index)
  for cwd, cwd_tbl in pairs(index) do
    for path, _ in pairs(cwd_tbl) do
      if not vim.startswith(path, cwd) then cwd_tbl[path] = nil end
    end
  end

  return default_normalize(index)
end

visits.setup({ store = { normalize = normalize } })
