Add an entire directory so re-add would include new files there in the future

[Zackhardtoname]

What exactly are you trying to do?

See title.

What have you tried so far?

chezmoi add ~/zack_setup_env
chezmoi add ~/zack_setup_env/*
chezmoi add ~/zack_setup_env/
touch ~/zack_setup_env/test.sh
chezmoi re-add

The only thing that got added is dot_DS_Store :(

Where else have you checked for solutions?

• I have read chezmoi's user guide, and not found the answer.
• I have searched chezmoi's reference guide, and not found the answer.
• Other, please give details.

There's currently no way to do this.

I think the correct change for chezmoi here is to treat exact_ directories specially when re-adding (re-add currently only applies to files), but I need to think through the consequences of this.

Is there any way to work around this limitation (e.g. with a Chezmoi script)?
