Continue doesn't respect .gitignore

[romiras]

Before submitting your bug report

• I believe this is a bug. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
• I'm not able to find an open issue that reports the same bug
• I've seen the troubleshooting guide on the Continue Docs

Relevant environment info

- OS: Ubuntu Linux 20.04
- Continue: v0.8.25
- IDE: VS Code 1.88.1

Description

It seems that Continue doesn't respect .gitignore at all. Every ignored file is leaked into indexing.

To reproduce

Generate RoR application

.gitignore:

# Ignore bundler config.
/.bundle

# Ignore all logfiles and tempfiles.
/log/*
/tmp/*
!/log/.keep
!/tmp/.keep

# Ignore pidfiles, but keep the directory.
/tmp/pids/*
!/tmp/pids/
!/tmp/pids/.keep

# Ignore uploaded files in development.
/storage/*
!/storage/.keep
.byebug_history

# Ignore master key for decrypting credentials and more.
/config/master.key

.env*

After long process of indexing du -hs ~/.continue/index reports about 144M.
After running echo 'ignore me' > tmp/ignore.txt a file indexed also.
Command sqlite3 -column ~/.continue/index/index.sqlite "select * from tag_catalog where path like '%ignore.txt'" shows:

@romiras is this .gitignore in the root of your opened VS Code workspace? I just want to make sure I have all of the structural details of your folders correct so that I can test this myself. My first guess at what's happening is that we aren't correctly handling the leading '/' in .gitignore

@sestinj
Ruby on Rails (RoR) application has been generated by rails new r7_app --api -J -T -A --skip-hotwire just to let me and others reproduce the issue. RoR was taken just for sake of example. You can generate skeleton app for Django app or whatever else.

285 directories, 1467 files

File .gitignore also located in root of project.

As result of indexing we can see all tmp, secret file, ... everything that we don't expect... leaked into ~/.continue/index/index.sqlite.
