Root gitignore/neuroignore are ignored when copying subdirectories

[atemate]

My project:

$ tree -a
.
├── config
│   ├── ignored
│   └── valid
├── .git
├── .gitignore
└── src
    └── valid

$ cat .gitignore 
ignored/

When doing neuro cp , .gitignore file is correctly considered and ignored/ is excluded:

$ neuro cp -r . storage:test
Expand file:///home/ay/github/temp/10

However, when copying a sub-directory, .gitignore is not considered:

Do we have a concept of project root (similar to .git/) to be able to implement the semantics of neuro-cp similar to git operations (i.e. .gitignore is valid for current directory and all its subdirectories)?

Temporal workaround:
Put a dedicated .gitignore file (or a symlink to the original one) inside the subdirectory (config) with the names, which are needed to be ignored.
