Feature request: make glob service .gitignore aware

[watzon]

I filed this as a feature request in the main Cline repo, but then I discovered Roo-Cline. It would be nice if the glob service respected .gitignore (and possibly a .clineignore) and didn't make any assumptions. Right now pkg is one of the auto ignored directories which poses a major issue for lots of Go repositories.

@watzon I haven't looked super closely but saw this - does that mean it's already respecting .gitignore? https://github.com/RooVetGit/Roo-Cline/blob/c8964ade2f28227a2ed4632e7cd9e74a44c98797/src/services/glob/list-files.ts#L44

So you'd just want to remove some/all of the dirsToIgnore?

[watzon]

I think some of them make sense as defaults. Not pkg, but pretty much everything else. I do think that if the user has a .gitignore that should be respected and the defaults should be ignored though. Give the user more control.

i'd love a .clineignore else .gitignore else default dirsToIgnore to have the most control

[derdabi]

Please give us .clineignore

[mrubens]

Yeah makes a lot of sense

Tbh, I think it should support both. I pretty much never would want ignored files to be visible. But in addition, I want to ignore more files that are part of git, but are not useful for the LLM to look at, e.g. test snapshots, various config dotfiles, etc... When I do @file, I see a ton of useless files. Here's my initial @file screen:

Note, that .DS_Store is in my .gitignore, yet it is visible, however completely useless.

Then I have a few dot files that are most likely will never be of interest, so I'd rather just skip to the chase and look at the src/* dir right away.
