Sync download/uploadExcludeFile parsing

[kickthemooon]

When using either download or uploadExcludeFile under dev.sync[*] with following .gitignore style entries

!/some/path/in/my/repo/

Devspace is complaining that !/some/path/in/my/repo/ should be used instead of !some/path/in/my/repo. But as you can see exactly that is used and when I use excludePaths instead of file the warnings disappear.

OS: Mac Catalina Devspace: 5.18.4 K8s: 1.20

@kickthemooon thanks for creating this issue! Did you maybe use it like this:

- !/some/path/in/my/repo

Since ! is a special character in yaml, you need to use instead:

- "!/some/path/in/my/repo"

The issue is about excludeFile i. e. When using an external file with a list of gitignore style items.

The issue is not about the config yaml file. In the config yaml file using excludePaths and quotes around the items everything seems to work fine

@kickthemooon ah yeah sorry, my bad. Yes you are correct, seems like the function we use internally cuts those leading / from the exclude paths. We'll issue a fix for this shortly

@kickthemooon this should be fixed with the new v6 beta version, can you confirm this?
