Gitignore parsing does not respect repository boundaries

[michaelkedar]

The current Gitignore parsing does not take into account the boundaries of git repositories, meaning:

• .gitignore files that are outside of git repositories are parsed and applied.
• .gitignore files from the parent repository are applied to files in git subrepositories.

I see that there have been a couple of PRs associated with this issue. Has the issue been resolved? Or is there still work to be done to address this in its entirety?

There is a section of docs that should be updated if this is complete.

This iteration of this bug hasn't been fixed. There was a previous issue related to this, but that's since been closed.

I don't believe anything has changed since that section of the docs were written, so probably no updates are needed.

@michaelkedar Thanks! I was trying to figure out if it was fully resolved by yesterday's release, but it sounds like it wasn't. I'll wait on the doc update.
