Describe your question, feature request, or bug.

Sometimes you end up inside a directory that's actually gitignored, and search for stuff. Of course, no file will get searched, and you will be confused.

If ripgrep ends up not searching any files and it happens to be in a situation where there are files to search that it cannot because of the ignore file, it should probably display a warning saying "some files were skipped because of the ignore file, try --no-ignore-vcs to include".

I don't know if ripgrep ever shows warnings, but this would be a nice place to do so.
