Minified Javascript files are automatically ignored by ack. See "ack --dump"
to get a list of what those exclusions are. That's why when you say "ack ." it
ignores it. (Really, you should just run ack without the . because ack assumes
. for the directory)
In the case where you "ack whatever *", you are passing a list of files to ack
to check. If you specify a filename on the command line, then ack assumes you
know what you are asking to check, and bypasses the filtering logic.
