Hangs on start

[jdavis]

When editing a file in my home directory, it hangs forever.

When sending signal interrupt, it gives this error:

[ Davis ] [~] > vim .vimrc
^CError detected while processing /Users/Davis/.vim/bundle/vim-gitwildignore/plugin/gitwildignore.vim:
line   44:
Interrupted
Interrupt: Press ENTER or type command to continue

which corresponds to this line of code:

let gitignore_files = split(globpath('**', '\.gitignore'), '\n')

I'm guessing the double wildcard is too aggressive in this case and that's why the hanging is happening. Maybe just move up the folder hierarchy until / is reached for the search path?

Yeah it looks like it. Sorry! I'll get on it soon :)

@mikewadsten, maybe take a look at this ;)

I think you're right that searching for **/.gitignore is too much in this case (especially since you're in your home directory). I imagine git ls-tree '**/.gitignore' would give you what you need, but I'm not sure how to get vim to run a command like that and grab the output.

Edit 1: looks like a good use for the system function!
Edit 2: system("git ls-files git rev-parse --show-toplevel | grep '\.gitignore$'") finds the gitignore files in the repo. Well, the shell output indicating the files, so you'll need to split that output.

My fork now does just that - it discovers .gitignore files using a system command to run git ls-files <etc etc>. @zdwolfe I suggest you take a look at that. (I've also basically rewritten the entirety of the code, but gitwildignore#discover_gitignore_files is the function you'll want to look at.)

@mikewadsten nice work! Your fork is awesome. I like where you've taken this little project of mine :)
