Add option to populate remoteignore from gitignore?

[sacsar]

It'd be handy if there was an option on remote-init to copy the contents of .gitignore to .remoteignore. An alternative would be to exclude gitignored files from the regular rsync (or add a setting in .remote to do it) and have an option to include those files in remote-push/remote-pull, as the one place I can think ignore them might be annoying is if you have editor configurations that you don't check in, but do want to keep in sync on both machines.

Yes I think this is indeed useful as a feature.
There are pros and cons of doing this at time of remote-init versus as a "dynamic include" in the .remoteignore.

I think for flexibility, keeping .remoteignore independent of .gitignore but allowing for the opportunity to seed it with .gitignore at remote-init time makes sense.

A deeper dynamic integration would involve needing support for annotations in the .gitignore or the .svnignore for the directionality of the ignore... supports for overrides / exclusions in the .remoteignore... complexity that might be overkill.

#19 should add simple .gitignore support

I'm closing this issue because the requested feature was added and documented. See include_vsc_ignore_patterns option description in the readme file for more details
