Suggestion: "strict" mode for paths/ignore_paths options #352

Description

Problem: it's easy to make mistakes when limiting the scope of a git resource with the paths and ignore_paths options, inadvertently making use of files which aren't included by these lists. This can make life get very weird - especially so if you're using multiple git resources pointing at the same repo with different paths settings.

Partial solution: a "strict" mode which would actively strip the working tree of any files not included by these filters, so that attempted use of any of these files will fail.
