Watcher is still initialized for files that are ignored about babel-watch HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey, thanks. I don't think this is intentional. I believe the intention was to have the server restart on some file changes (like assets that may be cached), but not trigger babel. It doesn't seem that this is really usable for that purpose.

I haven't had time to dig through it, maybe you have, but I would consider renaming or repurposing some of these flags.

Just noticed this issue is still open. I don't have a lot of time to dig into this other than renaming these flags.

What is the difference between --ignore and --exclude?

If someone can explain that to me I could try to come up with more appropriate names or put an explanation into the readme.

from babel-watch.

So:

• --ignore will watch the file, but not transpile it with Babel
• --exclude will not watch the file at all and thus it won't be transpiled either.

I don't actually see a good use case for --ignore because I assume that if you actually have this need, you already have it set in your babel config. There shouldn't be a need for a unique ignore list only when using babel-watch, but perhaps someone else has a different idea?

In this case I think the names are actually quite fitting. How about adding this explanation to the readme?

It's technically already there, but not super clear, so I'll add an additional note.
