[FeatureRequest] Ignore files ignored by GIT

Opened this issue · 1 comments

In other words, diff should respect content of .gitignore files across compared folders. This would greatly increase the readability of the comparison of two repositories when there will be no log, cache etc. files which are usually added to .gitignore.

Hi, the extension has the property l13Diff.exclude which you can use to exclude files and folders. I rejected the idea of using gitignore because it ends up in an order and race condition problem which rule is used first or not for includes.
