`--ignore` should trump all other options #874

I don't know if this is by design or due to the other open issues regarding --ignore, but I feel like the default should be that --ignore options should trump all other options.

For example:

ag -g '.*'  --all-text --hidden --ignore '.git'

should print the filenames of ALL text files except any under ./**/*.git/.

Right now --all-text trumps --ignore and prints out all the files under ./**/*.git/.

I completely agree.
