The ignoreAssetsPattern is only documented in the sources:

 * Patterns syntax:
 * - Delimiter is :
 * - Entry can start with the flag ! to avoid printing a warning
 *   about the file being ignored.
 * - Entry can have the flag "" to match only directories
 *   or  to match only files. Default is to match both.
 * - Entry can be a simplified glob "*" or "*"
 *   where prefix/suffix must have at least 1 character (so that
 *   we don't match a '*' catch-all pattern.)
 * - The special filenames "." and ".." are always ignored.
 * - Otherwise the full string is matched.
 * - match is not case-sensitive.
