Ignore projects in hidden directories (starting with a dot)

…or at least in the .fable directory. This is because Fable 2 copies the sources of the referenced packages into a hidden folder in the repository named .fable. This is done to avoid problems with most JS tooling which usually expects all sources (and F# files are also considered sources of JS project thanks to Webpack & fable-loader) to be in the hierarchy defined by the package.json file.

Right now Paket checks the projects in this .fable directory too, so if I run .paket/paket.exe install I get warnings like the following:

 - paket.references -> .fable/Fable.Elmish.1.0.3/Fable.Elmish.fsproj

Thanks @forki!

@matthid There’s indeed a paket.references in the repo root (same level as .fable folder) because @MangelMaxime likes to have a *.proj file there to be able to use dotnet CLI tool commands from the repo root 😉

I think we should ignore hidden folders. Matthias Dittrich [e-mail] schrieb am Sa., 26. Mai 2018, 07:05:

Also this behavior can be a blocker for adoption, for example if you introduce fake and manage it with paket. In this scenario you have a paket.reference in your root and paket will rewrite/format all project files. I have seen that already creating questions…
