New setting `crawlWithGit` about vike

[ChristophP]

Since we have a mixture of generated and checked-into-git pages, that would indeed be great to have since otherwise it would force us to work around it by copying aro und files as described here from this issue.

Workaround: We could force all of the plus files to be generated but it wouldn't make a lot of sense from our perspective since some files are "user files" and others are "framework files". We could do some trickery like keeping the framework files in a different place and copy them into the Vike root at build time but that would be pretty messy.

Having this would allow us to upgrade to the V1 design smoothly.

One thing to add, which is not relevant now, but might be something to speed up the crawling in the future.
Node 22 will feature built-in globbing. via node:fs.
Once it becomes stable it might be worth a try to see if that offers a well-enough performance improvement over libs like fast-glob

Indeed 👀 Thanks for the pointer, I didn't know about it!

Implemented and pre-released as 0.4.172-commit-c1b0884.

// vite.config.js

import vike from 'vike/plugin'

export default {
  plugins: [
    vike({
      crawl: { git: false }
    })
  ]
}

It's marked as experimental and it isn't documented (yet), because it's going to be moved from vite.config.js to the upcoming vike.config.js. The setting itself will stay and can be considered stable.

Awesome, thank you will try later today.
