code: function fixPaths(paths) {
      return paths.map(path => {
          if (_.startsWith(path, '!./')) {
              return `!${path.substr(3)}`;
          } else if (_.startsWith(path, './')) {
              return path.substr(2);
          } else {
              return path;
          }
      });
  }
docs: Note: There is an issue with gulp.watch that prevents it from detecting new or deleted files if the glob is absolute or starts with './'. Hence the code below to fix it. See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/26851844
