fix(plugin-vite): ignore .git directory in dev mode file watcher#4213
Conversation
When running in dev mode, the Rolldown watch config is set to `{}` with
no `ignored` patterns. This causes Rolldown to watch `.git/`
subdirectories, triggering unnecessary HMR reloads during git
operations like rebase (which writes to `.git/rebase-merge/`).
