Summary

Updated the deadgrep ripgrep argument generation to include --hidden and --glob=!/.git flags in all search configurations. This ensures hidden files are searched while explicitly excluding the .git directory.

Changes

  • Added --hidden flag to enable searching in hidden files and directories
  • Added --glob=!/.git flag to exclude the .git directory from search results
  • Updated all three test cases in deadgrep--arguments test to reflect the new expected argument lists:
    • Basic regexp search with smart case
    • String search with file type filter and context lines
    • Word search with glob pattern and context lines

Details

These flags are now consistently applied across all search invocations, regardless of the search type, case sensitivity mode, or file filters used. The --hidden flag allows deadgrep to search in hidden files (those starting with .), while the --glob=!/.git pattern prevents the .git directory from being included in results, which is typically desired behavior for most searches.

The test still expected the old argument list, but the code now adds
--hidden (when deadgrep--skip-if-hidden is nil, the default) and
--glob=!/.git (when deadgrep--skip-if-vcs-ignore is t, the default).
These flags were introduced when hidden-file and .gitignore searching
was added, but this test was never updated, so it failed on every CI
run across all Emacs versions.
