flux diff kustomization doesn't seem to ignore files correctly

[ryanobjc]

Describe the bug

While using this command:

flux diff kustomization apps --path apps/dev

I get this error:

✗ failed to generate kustomization.yaml: failed to decode Kubernetes YAML from $HOME/$REPO/apps/dev/.sops.yaml: missing Resource metadata <nil> <nil>

I tried to use --ignore-paths with various patterns including:
.sops.yaml
**/.sops.yaml
$PWD/apps/dev/.sops.yaml

But none of those worked. I was able to accomplish my task by deleting the .sops.yaml file then restoring it via git afterwards.

Steps to reproduce

Create a kustomization in a standard format, and include a .sops.yaml which should be normally ignored, and it doesn't.

Expected behavior

The file should be ignored and the diff should work.

I have exactly the same problem. No matter how I exclude the files that I want excluded, they are not ignored.
