feat: Support for descript.ion / files.bbs about eza

[MartinFillon]

Well, eza goal is to not interfer with file contents, and never read, modify, open, a file. As to follow this mindset I think this idea will not be implemented for the moment.

Except .gitignore, right?

Not really the ignoring is made by reading the status using libgit2.

[daviessm]

Yes, libgit2 does that by reading any .gitignore files it sees. We can't claim we never read files if we're just depending on another crate to do it for us. See below strace output of exa --git-ignore and stat .gitignore which shows the atime updated when eza ran.

newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/steven/code/rust/eza/.gitignore", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=449, ...}, 0) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/steven/code/rust/eza/.gitignore", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5
read(5, "# Nix Flake stuff\nresult\n\n# Gene"..., 449) = 449
close(5)                                = 0

steven$ stat .gitignore
