Looks like there’s no CLI equivalent (forgot to add it).

`noParentIgnore` causes ignore rules to stop at the level where the policy is defined and not inherit from parent.

For example if:

- `/root` ignores `*.a`
- `/root/subdir` - ignores `*.b` - both `*.a` and `*.b` will be ignored via inheritance
- `/root/subdir/subdir2` - ignores `*.c` but with `noParentIgnore=true` - only `*.c` will be ignored but `*.a` and `*.b` will be snapshotted
