The bug

When using the CLI, the --ignore option seems to have a bug/unexpected output related to case sensitivity. For instance, if I have @eaDir directories in my folders and want to exclude it, the following glob pattern does NOT exclude them and all the nested files are still imported.

immich upload --ignore **/\@eaDir/** --recursive --dry-run Photos/

However, the following command appears to ignore them as expected.

immich upload --ignore **/\@eadir/** --recursive --dry-run Photos/

This may be by design - I see https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/cli/src/utils.ts#L158 is where it's being done using fast-glob, and it explicitly is set to caseSensitive: false. However, if this means the glob pattern should also be all lowercase, then that should be made more clear in the docs. The current docs imply that you need to match case (for instance, specifically stating how to exclude **/Raw/** files.

If you don't quote the pattern ("**/\@eaDir/**) bash will end up expanding *. This is not a bug with the CLI but rather how it's being used in a bash shell.
