100mb test/benchinput.md file is included in published rubygem

[andrew]

I was experimenting with vendoring some rubygems into a git repository and ran into a problem when trying to push to GitHub:

remote: error: File commonmarker/test/benchinput.md is 105.52 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB

Turns out that https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker/blob/master/commonmarker.gemspec#L21 includes all files in the test directory when publishing, including ones that are ignored by .gitignore, that also includes test/progit which is about 25mb.

So excluding those test from the gemspec should significantly reduce the size of the published gem.

Hm, is this right? It looks like the current gem version is at 146 KB, and has been around there for a long while, with a jump up to 1mb back in Dec 2017 when we did include some extra bits by mistake. Unless you're pulling 0.13.0 from late 2016? There was a 41mb gem by mistake, for sure.

(But thanks for pointing this out -- I'll make the adjustment to the gemspec.)

Thanks! My experiment was vendoring every version of each gem that Octobox depends on, hence the old versions.
