Gitignore-style file discovery #2

Closed msiebuhr closed 11 years ago

msiebuhr commented 11 years ago

Rules:

Files named explictily should be included no matter what
Directories should be searched for relevant files
- But who decides which files are the relevant ones? Does the linter provide a list?
Files/directories prefixed with a ! are exclude-patterns.

Ex:

# include everything in bin/
bin/*
# lint all stuff in lib/ and test/
lib/
test/
# but ignore '3rdparty' and 'node_modules'-folders
!3rdparty
!node_modules

Somewhat related to #6.

Actually, a custom implementation (or straight out fork) of glob, updated to cache heavily and ignore stuff at earliest possible moment could be used.

Implemented this using glob, mostly to figure out if the matching-style feels right to use. If it feels right and it's a bit slow, we can always write our own.
