[Feature Request] Do not track single-file must-use plugins

[hirasso]

Summary

I just noticed that single-file mu-plugins made it into my version control. This stems from the entry in .gitignore:

https://github.com/roots/bedrock/blob/c20a9dc02aef36b90ed0c6c51d895ce9fc3edde4/.gitignore#L4C1-L4C22

A more sensible suggestion could be this, if bedrock-autoloader.php really needs to be tracked in git:

web/app/mu-plugins/*
!web/app/mu-plugins/bedrock-autoloader.php

Actually – is it really necessary that the bedrock-autoloader is checked in? It's listed as a composer dependency, after all... maybe it's because it doesn't know where it should install itself?

Alternatively, this simplified ruleset works well for me, as my theme is always called "site":

# Content Folder
web/app/*
!web/app/themes/
web/app/themes/*
!web/app/themes/site/

// ...

It basically tells git: "Do not track anything inside the wp-content folder except for my theme"

The dependency and that single file are two different things. The single file is the entrypoint and is required due to how WordPress mu plugins work. It creates a new instance of the class provided by the dependency for the actual functionality.

Ah, right! So it need to be checked in then, after all. Thanks for the clarification!
