[gitignore] optionally include directories that are a part of gitignore in the glob

[CNDW]

Is this feature missing in the latest version?

• I'm using the latest release

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently the globing will filter out directories that are included in the gitignore file. I have a job where build artifacts are produced in a gitignored directory and I need to gather produced files based on a glob. This action won't let me do so in it's current state.

Describe the solution you'd like?

I would like to be able to provide an option to skip the gitignore filter in some capacity. We could skip the entire gitignore filtering or we could provide gitignore entries to exclude from the filtering process.

Describe alternatives you've considered?
