Possible API: Give iterpath() an ignore: bool = False (working name) argument; when true, .gitignore and .ignore files are honored during traversal.

  • Alternatively, ignore can be set to an iterable of strings giving the names of files to treat as (git)ignore-style files to honor.

  • Is it necessary to honor ignore files in parent directories of the starting directory?

  • How exactly should this work when dirs is True? Should anything be done about directories that don't contain any matching files? What about directories that don't match any patterns?

  • Add an option for also honoring the $HOME-wide gitignore file?
