Allow chat agent to see files in .gitignore

Feature request for product/service

Chat

Describe the request

Stop ignoring:

  • symlinks
  • files and folders in the .gitignore

These cause serious problems when trying to get the chat/agent to do something with temporary files that have been deliberately hidden from git.
It also causes problems when trying to access skills which are very often both symlinked into the project/account and also placed in a .gitignore to prevent spurious copies of code from another repo.
