tsconfig files list makes source control checkin difficult

[park9140]

filesGlob is a nice way to reduce churn on file lists in the tsconfig. However, after adding it atom updates the tsconfig ever time you add a file to complete the files list.

I would love to use tsconfig as part of our build process, but having a change to this file every time a new file is added to the project creates massive churn and constant merge conflicts.

Can we make it so the file list cache is posted into a cache file instead that can be separately git ignored?

file list cache is posted into a cache file

Its not a cache. We evaluate filesGlob irrespective of what files says. The reason why files exist is because the official spec only supports files : https://github.com/TypeStrong/atom-typescript/blob/master/docs/tsconfig.md#tsconfigjson So we actively keep files in match with filesGlob so that you can use the project with stuff like sublime text. Sadly files needs to be in tsconfig.json even though we actually don't care to use it in presence of filesGlob. 🌹
