Description
Hi,
I'm started using https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify while using diffity and because graphify generates quite a lot of files for each commit, trying to run diffity will cause the process hit OOM error. Even if I could fix the memory issue, it would still be a lot of noise to have graphify files included in the diff. I didn't find a way to specify ignore patterns like .gitignore for diffity, hence asking support for this.

Research direction
Start by tracing how diffity discovers and processes files for a diff, then review whether it already has configuration or filtering entry points. Define completion as allowing users to provide .gitignore-style patterns that exclude graphify-generated files before processing, and verify those files no longer appear in the diff.
