This one gave rise to a fairly lengthy discussion, and we could probably pull it off without too much difficulty.

I'd like to see a spelling out of the rules for how relative paths work. Relative to what? Also, don't forget that -g matches against strings, not filenames or directory names.

hoelzro commented 11 years ago

Good point. Relative paths get tricky, especially when in an ackrc file. Consistency between -g and --ignore-dir is also a plus. Maybe this feature will make it in if we decide to implement #336.
