feature request: Support exclude(ignore) using .riceignore about go.rice HOT 7 OPEN

No, please, not an ignore option, or at least also provide a include-only thing. rice is embedding my project's .git directory by default. This is a terrible default behavior.

Please be patient, it will take me a couple of days until I can revisit this and give input. We're in release mode here at $WORK.

This would be a great feature, currently having to manually edit my rice-box.go to remove DS_STORE files and others

from go.rice.

Has this been implemented?

@at15 If you're still interested in making a PR for this, it would be very welcome.
I think to keep things simple a .riceignore file should only be valid in the root of a box, and is only valid for that box.
Absolute paths in the .riceignore file are relative to the root of the box.

Perhaps we should try to follow the gitignore guidelines for pattern matching.

Go has it's own filepath pattern matching as well, but that doesn't seem to support ** for subdirectories?

@mdone-cloudian Is your .git directory in the assets box you're embedding?

[Two months later...] Ok, the way I solved it (and I guess it was the original intended method) was to put the files in its own subdir and point rice to it. I find all the example show this, so I guess it was more an error on my side. It's all good now, forget I ever said anything :)
