Describe the bug

I'm a NixOS user and often will use warp with my nix-config repo. However, when I run a build of my system to test changes before enabling them the symlinked directory exceeds the file limit of a single repository and causes an error even though the paths are present in my .gitignore file.

To reproduce

Reproduction steps:

Note these steps will work with any nix flake but I'm using my config for the example

1. Install nix: https://docs.determinate.systems/
2. Clone repo gh repo clone jordangarrison/nix-config (or any other flake)
3. Build config nh os build . or nix flake build
4. Observe the result -> [linked/path/here] symlink not get omitted from codebase indexing.

Expected behavior

Warp ignores symlinks the same as any other file.
