ignoreToAcceptor

ignoreToAcceptor can filter a file/directory(name, not content) consistent with the .gitignore rules. ignoreToAcceptor received variable parameter consist of { string|string[] }, and return an object with three functions.

• fileAccepted(filename: string)=> boolean: check whether a filename will be accepted under the given ignore patterns.
• dirAccepted(filename: string)=> boolean: check whether a dirname will be accepted under the given ignore patterns.
• accepted(name: string, isDir: boolean)=> boolean:
  • name: file/directory name
  • isDir: the name gived previous whether or not represent a dir.
  • return true if it's accepted under the given ignore patterns.

Noticed that build/ will not matched a file named build, so that is important to distinguish the incoming parameter is a directory or file.
