buildah add ignores the implicit .containerignore

[dilyanpalauzov]

I do
strace -fs2048 buildah add --contextdir /home/d/chroot abc / /

The documentation of buildah add says:

--ignorefile

Path to an alternative .containerignore (.dockerignore) file. Requires --contextdir be specified.

My reading of the above text is, that the aforementioned call will try to open the default .containerignore file: contextdir is provided and the default .containerignore file is not overwritten.

strace shows that neither .dockerignore nor .containerignore are opened in any directory, when --ignorefile is skipped.

I guess the same happens for buildah copy.

buildah version 1.21.0 (image-spec 1.0.1-dev, runtime-spec 1.0.2-dev)
