I've just been bitten by this bug.
I can understand not changing the behaviour wrt historical
precedent: I have been told that people used to rely on the
ignore-dot mechanism to disable things (e.g.
mv foo foo.disabled).
However I think this could be much better documented as it
seems to trip a lot of people up. Apart from re-wording the
manpage, the --verbose option could indicate files it is
skipping as well as ones it is considering (or perhaps a new
flag could be added)
I shall see what I can knock-up :-)
