This flag prevents ripgrep from requiring one to search a git repository in order to respect git-related ignore rules (global, .gitignore and local excludes). This actually corresponds to behavior ripgrep had long ago, but #934 changed that. It turns out that users were relying on this buggy behavior. In most cases, fixing it as simple as converting one's rules to .ignore or .rgignore files. Unfortunately, there are other use cases---like Perforce automatically respecting .gitignore files---that make a strong case for ripgrep to at least support this. The UX of a flag like this is absolutely atrocious. It's so obscure that it's really not worth explicitly calling it out anywhere. Moreover, the error cases that occur when this flag isn't used (but its behavior is desirable) will not be intuitive, do not seem easily detectable and will not guide users to this flag. Nevertheless, the motivation for this is just barely strong enough for me to begrudgingly accept this. Fixes #1414, Closes #1416
