dotfiles are ignored

[mellowcandle]

for instance if I have
.gitignore
in my git status output. it can't be selected using PathPicker.

I've got a WIP fix for this: metavida/PathPicker@master...include_git_status_dotfiles

I believe dot files inside directory are not a problem.
So the issue is actualy about dot files and with not period in the current directory. Do you confirm? It seems that those are not detected by design since it's more likely that they are not paths in the input.

This is a duplicate of #7.

Thanks for checking out this ticket @pedrox. First, I'd like to make a clarification. When I say "dotfile" I mean "any file that begins with a period"[1].

I believe dot files inside directory are not a problem.

I confirmed that PathPicker does not recognize dotfiles within a directory by adding the following case to test.py on the latest master branch commit.

{
    'input': 'tmp/.gitignore',
    'match': True,
    'file': 'tmp/.gitignore',
    'num': 0
}

This is a duplicate of #7.

To my reading, issue #7 is about detecting files with no extensions (e.g. Makefile). While this issue is similar, I would suggest that this ticket is not a duplicate of #7 because it's quite possible to have a dotfile with an extension (e.g. .env.production or .hidden.txt).
