Atom should skip whole folders when in the "Ignored Names" set #164

I set the ".svn" folder to be ignored, but when I use the search files inside that folder are found. I'm forced to put also the "*.svn-base" exception.

A way to ignore folders and contents can be nice.

Weird thing: this seems not happening for .git folders.

Atom has a more robust system for ignoring files and directories called "Exclude VCS Ignored Paths". This hides or ignores anything that shows up in your version control system's ignore pattern. Currently, only Git is supported for this which is why you're not seeing the same behavior with Subversion.

The feature you're using is for hiding things from Atom that you still want checked in to source control. Typically, this is just file types.

So the issue is only about the lack of support to SVN. It this a core missing feature or only related to the search plugin?

An API for other source control systems exists (see https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/4138 for information). So I wouldn't even say that it is a missing feature of core. It's just that nobody has created a plugin for Subversion.
