Given a rule like:

build/%{1}: cmd/*
  inputs: **/*.go
  build: go build -o %{OUT} -o build/%{1}

If a cmd is removed or renamed between builds, the build directory will contain stale outputs. The Bit database could be used to track this . This should be relatively straightforward, in that we could populate a variable with a list of files that have been removed from the build since the last run.

eg.

build/%{1}: cmd/*
  inputs: **/*.go
  build:
    for stale in %{STALE}; do [[ $stale == build/* ]] && rm $stale; done
    go build -o %{OUT} -o build/%{1}

Shake has the concept of "pruning", which could be useful inspiration.

eg.

virtual hello:
  build:
    #!/usr/bin/env python3
    print("Hello, world!")

eg. if we have something like:

dist/index.html: html/**/*.html
  build: build-index

If build-index generates a .html file under html/ then the targets inputs will be altered, resulting in the target being immediately invalidated.

Instead of this weird failure mode, bit should re-expand the globs, compare them to the old set, and error if they differ.

This results in targets that should be out of date, being marked as up to date.

Given the .gitignore file:

.build/

If this directory exists in Git, and is explicitly specified in a glob like so:

backend/template/.build/**/*

Bit will not expand this glob.

Currently the only way to exclude files from a pattern is to use .gitignore, which is obviously not ideal.
