Up to this point it was up for a validator to "code" that up. E.g. current new deno based validator in
https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-validator/blob/main/src/files/ignore.ts has
thus ignores all dotfiles from validation. But this is inconsistent e.g. with shipped in bids-specification schematools treatment, where files in a dotdirectory were reported as "invalid":
And as demonstrated above there could be legit "system" dotfiles (VCS related etc) which are part of the folder containing BIDS dataset, I think we should explicitly describe position of BIDS in relation to the dotfiles. As it is pretty much "ignore", that is what this PR is intended to state.

was already ignoring them.
