[no]ignore-dir not working

[Chinh Le]

Hello everyone,

Running `ack -ilc someString --[no]ignore-dir=dist` to search 'someString' in 'dist' directory does not work.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thx!
Chinh

If you want to search in a directory, just specify the directory name.

ack -ilc someString dist

The --ignore-dir option is for when you have ack searching all the directories, and you want to ignore a specific directory.

The --noignore-dir lets you override a previous --ignore-dir option, such as from inside an .ackrc file.
