Improve interface for ignoring files #115

Open reitzig opened 5 years ago

Option -i can be used to ignore individual files. It is arduous to use for long and/or changing lists of files.

Add an option that takes one or multiple ignore files; each line would correspond to a file name (pattern) to be ignored.

Goal: support .gitignore and similar files. Check for libraries that parse such, in particular considering they may contain glob patterns. Candidates:

Refactor out own ignore file (format) while we're at it.

TBD:

See #89 for a use case.
