Ignore .gitignore by default #270

Closed mcandre closed 11 years ago

mcandre commented 11 years ago

My .gitignore is showing up in ack results, so I inserted --ignore-file=is:.gitignore into my ~/.ackrc. Could we ignore .gitignore by default? Do we want to ignore .gitignore?

For that matter, should we ignore it because it's a dotfile?

petdance commented 11 years ago

We are not going to be ignoring dotfiles in ack 2, so the question is, should .gitignore be ignored by default? I don't think it should.
