Option -i can be used to ignore individual files. It is arduous to use for long and/or changing lists of files.
Add an option that takes one or multiple ignore files; each line would correspond to a file name (pattern) to be ignored.
Goal: support .gitignore and similar files. Check for libraries that parse such, in particular considering they may contain glob patterns. Candidates:
Refactor out own ignore file (format) while we're at it.
TBD:
- Make use of
.gitignore by default? Are there other canonical candidates?
- Introduce a canonical file name for a user-specified ignore file, similar to
.gitignore?
See #89 for a use case.
