-Ignore file patterns support:
-  - Exact matches (e.g., 'path/to/file')
-  - Directory patterns (e.g., 'path/to/dir/')
-  - Wildcards (e.g., '*.log', 'path/*/file')
-  - Root-relative patterns (e.g., '/.config')

+  - If no PKGBUILDs changed: asks if you want to check packages anyway
+  - If PKGBUILDs changed: offers to build changed packages
+  - Interactive selection of packages to build
