Why ignore hidden files? #2

Closed fladd closed 7 years ago

fladd commented 7 years ago

It seems that checksumdir ignores hidden file (.*). Is there any reason for this? How would I hash my dotfile diretory?

No good reason, it just matched the use case at the time. As of version 1.1.0, it will no longer ignore hidden files by default - you can revert to previous behaviour using --ignore-hidden.

Fantastic, thanks!
