If bitHound is marking a module as unused, but you are using it in a way bitHound can't detect (e.g. inline script tags, tests), you can specify unused ignores in your .bithoundrc.

.bithoundrc

  "ignore": [
    "**/deps/**",
    "**/node_modules/**",
    "**/thirdparty/**",
    "**/third_party/**",

have there been any updates to this files since last revision? I'm seeing my files/deps in **/data/** being ignore, but that path is not listed here.
