Exclude `.wokeignore` file in scans #243

Open jcraigk opened 2 years ago

jcraigk commented 2 years ago

If there is a file/path that includes a sensitive term in .wokeignore file, it will produce a warning. It seems like the intent of the file itself is to be ignored. For example, with the following .wokeignore content:

blacklist.jpg

Running woke produces the following output:

.wokeignore:1:0-9: `blacklist` may be insensitive, use `denylist`, `blocklist`, `exclusion list` instead (warning)
blacklist.jpg

To actually ignore these filenames, one must place .wokeignore itself in the .wokeignore file:

.wokeignore
blacklist.jpg

This is surprising behavior. Is it intended?
