Description
I don't know if that is a bug or if files listed in .gitignore are considered to be not interesting and thus filtered. I couldn't find anything on the repo about this so I figured that is more likely to be unintended. I have a git repo similar to the one in the example, where I have a results folder that I don't want to commit but I'd like to be able to search inside of it.

Example

mkdir test_tv_gitignore
cd test_tv_gitignore
git init
echo "hello" >> ignored_file.txt
echo "ignored_file.txt" >> .gitignore
mkdir result_folder
touch result_folder/results_{1,2,3}.txt
echo "result_folder/*" >> .gitignore
mkdir other_folder
touch other_folder/other_{1,2,3}.txt

Expected behavior
I would expect to see ignored_file.txt and result_folder/results_{1,2,3}.txt when using tv from the test_tv_gitignore or parent folder.

Actual behavior
When using tv from test_tv_gitignore, it only lists other_folder/other_{1,2,3}.txt. If I launch tv from test_tv_gitignore/result_folder/, I then can see the results_{1,2,3}.txt files.

Environment

OS: Ubuntu
