Silver searcher does not go up the directory structure when checking .gitignore

[pavellishin]

We are ignoring build directories.

[2014-06-12 16:33:12] pavel.lishin@plishin:/gitwork/aproject
# ag 'target/' .gitignore
35:target/

And ag respects that from within my project's root folder.

[2014-06-12 16:33:35] pavel.lishin@plishin:/gitwork/aproject
# ag --js rtReviews
app/api/src/main/resources/web/test/unit/model/user-submission-controller-spec.js
14:            rtReviews: false,

But if I go further into the project file structure, it doesn't care.

[2014-06-12 16:33:42] pavel.lishin@plishin:/gitwork/aproject
# cd app
[2014-06-12 16:33:45] pavel.lishin@plishin:/gitwork/aproject/app
# ag --js rtReviews
api/src/main/resources/web/test/unit/model/user-submission-controller-spec.js
14:            rtReviews: false,

api/target/classes/web/test/unit/model/user-submission-controller-spec.js
14:            rtReviews: false,

Much like git searches upwards through a directory structure to check for .gitignore files, I believe ag should as well.

any work on this, I find this really annoying...

I believe this is the same as #144 (which has some conversation)

[ggreer]

Yep. This is a duplicate of #144.
