Suggestion: ignore/exclude folder

[alexellis]

It would be ideal to ignore/exclude the text "/vendor/" from any auditing of Golang projects, the same would be true with Node.js projects where we need to exclude "/node_modules/"

Your tool would be about 2-3x as useful with this feature. What do you think?

I did something very similar here, but it'd be good to see it done in a generic way like -exclude="/vendor/".

This makes sense, but I certainly don't want to have hard-coded pathnames that are excluded. So... would such paths usually be in gitignore? Because it seems reasonable to try and parse gitignore and hgignore.

I'm not suggesting hard-coded:

.gitignore won't work for Golang projects prior to Go modules since we commit the vendor folder as a rule. A simple exclusion pattern via args would work great.
