We're going to start using sphinx-autobuild in https://github.com/python/devguide/pull/1208 and are adding the PyCharm IDE directory (.idea) and virtualenv directory (venv) to prevent irrelevant changes from triggering a rebuild:
--re-ignore="/\.idea/|/venv/"
Proposal
It would be helpful if sphinx-autobuild read in the contents of any .gitignore and automatically ignored any files matching the contents.
This should be in addition to any files specified via command-line options.
