:warning: In Babel 7.8.0 we introduced the
--copy-ignoredoption for@babel/cli, defaulting tofalse. However, previous versions behaved as if that option was present: for this reason, we changed its default value totrue(when--copy-filesis provided) and introduced a--no-copy-ignoredoption to disable it.
