I'd like to ignore all but one of 1200 directories in the node_modules for an Ember.js (node) application.
I added the 1199 directories to the ignore_dirs array in .watchmanconfig, and when I try to boot up my app, the watchman process starts eating all of my system memory, and eventually fails.
Everything works fine when ignore_dirs does not include any children of node_modules, but then it's watching 120 000
files unnecessarily, and I often need to have several apps running at once, and system limits become an issue.
