Description

Hi :)

we are using the @semantic-release/git plugin in a huge monorepo managed by LERNA(https://github.com/lerna/lerna).
With the latest package we added to this monorepo we are encountered a MaxBufferError from your plugin which mainly comes from this "Feature": https://github.com/semantic-release/git/commit/05ab305a380abf6a76aaa81aea0c8fc12fa22782 - or with this configuration on getModifiedFiles() => git -o flag.

Would it be possible to add another configuration target where we could force to use .gitignore or just ignore it, like:

assets: [],
message: "",
gitignore : false

Research direction

Start by reading getModifiedFiles() and the linked commit that introduced the git -o flag, then trace how the plugin handles large output in a Lerna monorepo. Done means the plugin exposes a documented way to control or bypass the .gitignore behavior without triggering MaxBufferError.
