.git directory isn't ignored

[StarpTech]

The default ignore options doesn't ignore changes in the .git directory

[browser-refresh] Server is ready. Page refresh triggered over WebSockets connection.

I'm getting the same issue:

[browser-refresh] File has been changed: .git/index.lock
[browser-refresh] Restarting app...
[browser-refresh] File has been changed: .git/index

@StarpTech @basickarl I was finding this issue as well (on an inherited legacy project) - since browser-refresh was using the .gitignore file to build a list of ignore rules I just added

.git/index.lock

to my .gitignore (that is more likely to help @basickarl ). Another way to resolve this would be to create the .browser-refresh-ignore file and just put your ignore rules in there.

That solved it for me, if that doesn't work maybe it's a version issue (I'm on 1.6.0)
