This commit adds a new --no-ignore-global flag that permits disabling
the use of global gitignore filtering. Global gitignores are generally
found in `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`, but its location can be configured
via git's `core.excludesFile` option.
Closes#934
This commit fixes an interesting bug in the `ignore` crate where it
would basically respect any `.gitignore` file anywhere (including global
gitignores in `~/.config/git/ignore`), regardless of whether we were
searching in a git repository or not. This commit rectifies that
behavior to only respect gitignore rules when in a git repo.
The key change here is to move the logic of whether to traverse parents
into the directory matcher rather than putting the onus on the directory
traverser. In particular, we now need to traverse parent directories in
more cases than we previously did, since we need to determine whether
we're in a git repository or not.
Fixes#934
This commit improves the error message when --path-separator fails. Namely,
it prints the separator it got and also prints a notice for Windows users
for common failure modes.
Fixes#957
The preprocessor flag accepts a command program and executes this
program for every input file that is searched. Instead of searching the
file directly, ripgrep will instead search the stdout contents of the
program.

1.23.0 is the first Rust release of 2018 and is around half a year old,
which seems old enough to move to. This also lets us bring in encoding_rs
0.8, which includes performance optimizations.
This commit makes Gitignore::empty a bit faster by avoiding allocation
and manually specializing the implementation instead of routing it through
the GitignoreBuilder.
This helps improve uses of ripgrep that traverse *many* directories, and
in particular, when the use of ignores is disabled via command line
switches.
Fixes#835, Closes#836
This commit removes the previous smart case detection logic and replaces
it with detection based on the regex AST. This particular AST is a faithful
representation of the concrete syntax, which lets us be very precise in
how we handle it.
Closes#851
This update brings with it many bug fixes:
* Better error messages are printed overall. We also include
explicit call out for unsupported features like backreferences
and look-around.
* Regexes like `\s*{` no longer emit incomprehensible errors.
* Unicode escape sequences, such as `\u{..}` are now supported.
For the most part, this upgrade was done in a straight-forward way. We
resist the urge to refactor the `grep` crate, in anticipation of it
being rewritten anyway.
Note that we removed the `--fixed-strings` suggestion whenever a regex
syntax error occurs. In practice, I've found that it results in a lot of
false positives, and I believe that its use is not as paramount now that
regex parse errors are much more readable.
Closes#268, Closes#395, Closes#702, Closes#853
