ag has issues with .gitignore, as patterns are not recognized properly. The matcher that git uses cannot be included due to licensing (see https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher/pull/614).

Does seem like there is hope, as a BSD licensed version exists. My fingers are crossed that this is solved soon :)

ag uses .agignore

I often need to search only on a subset of the files checked in git. Example, I don't search the min.js files but I need them for the deploys.

It would be nice if they could share the same format.

inside a git repository I would recommend using `git grep`
