feature-request: Add support for generated files in the repo-map

[monksy]

Right now: Since generated files are considered to be part of gitignore, the only way you can get generated files (where you have a compile step that generates source) is to forcefully add them into the context. This creates a lot of work to manually add these files.

I would like to see a configuration option that allows for this new behavior.

Hmm, so not like compiled binary files, but things like /dist/ folders, to make sure I understand the intent

These are either OpenAPI or Protobuf source generated files.

Usually in out or target/generated-files/[packagepath]. From my experience models can't do the configuration->source translation and deal with the idea of what their output would be. It's better to take these read only generated source files into context. Usually those files are in gitignore as well. But from my experience with Aider, they won't be included or considered in the context unless you forcefully add all of them. I would like to see them included in the repo map.

I know this works out to an "ignore .gitignore for {paths}" which is a good capability, I'll think on how this can be achieved without breaking the entire git integration
