Hi,

Is there a way to tell ag to use .gitignore files from parent directories as well? Otherwise, starting a search from a subdirectory returns lots of irrelevant results.

Thanks!
Clément.

👍 ag should walk up the directory tree looking for .gitignores in all parent folders.

Relatedly, if I am in directory repository_root and run ag somestring dir/, ag is not honoring repository_root/.gitignore.
