Support dynamically detecting changes when .gitignore is updated

See original GitHub issue

Consider a repo with the following:

.gitignore:

*.js

foo.test.ts

it(`throws`, () => throw new Error('bewm'));

(and TypeScript configured with inline source maps)

If you run tsc --watch and jest --watch, it will not pick up any changes. Jest is running tests via foo.test.js, and because .js files are gitignored, any changes to those files are also ignored

Suggestion: for files with source maps, also track their related source and check for changes in them, too

Nah, just re-crawling after gitignore is changed should be sufficient. Jest already has a list of files to resolve, so no need to complicate it even further. Also I don’t see source maps related to this issue.
