The .git folder seems to be included in the upload to EAS

Summary

I got a warning saying "Your project archive is 159 MB. You can reduce its size and the time it takes to upload by excluding files that are unnecessary for the build process in .easignore file."

I used eas build:inspect to check what's being included. The output is as expected, except that it includes the full contents of the .git directory (not something I want shared).

I've tried explicitly adding .git and /.git/** to my .easignore but the directory is still included.

Here's my .easignore contents:

# Only include the app directory when uploading files to EAS

# Ignore everything
*

# Except the app directory and the contents of the directory
!app
!app/**

# Added to see if I can prevent .git from being included
.git
.git/**
