Apply subdirectory's .ackrc #273

Closed mcandre closed 7 years ago

mcandre commented 11 years ago

I would prefer that .ackrc's in subdirectories are applied when searching them, no matter where your current directory is.

$ mkdir test
$ echo "shouldn't print" > test/test.dot
$ echo "--ignore-file=ext:dot" > test/.ackrc
$ ack print test/
test\test.dot
1:shouldn't print
$ cd test/
$ ack print
(blank)

This is more complex than I want to make .ackrcs. Sorry.
