Does serena respect global git ignore?

[sakuro]

When I onboard serena in an empty (newly created) ruby gem project, it does not finish for long time (10 minutes and more) and I killed it.
With --log-level DEBUG I found it took time in parsing bundled gems in ./vendor/bundle even though I have /vendor/bundle/ in the global git ignore file (~/.config/git/ignore) but it seems not be respected.
I added /vendor/bundle/ to local .gitignore and it now finishes within 5 seconds.

We decided on purpose to not respect the global gitignore as we follow the philosophy that Serena should only look into files within the repository unless specifically configured otherwise. At the moment there is no support to enable reading the global gitignore

Also, I would argue that relying on the global gitignore file is not a good practice for development in general, because it will not be shared among developers. Projects should be as self-contained as possible. (Of course, this may not be relevent to you if you are working on your own...)
