Unclear documentation for babelrc option

[benmccann]

The docs for babelrc option do not clearly specify what happens when babelrc: false. Does it stop searching up the directory tree and look just for a single file or does it stop using babelrc files altogether?

It's not behaving the way I'd expect and I'm not sure if that's because it's broken as many people have reported or if it's because I'm making some wrong assumptions about how it should work

Hey @benmccann! We really appreciate you taking the time to report an issue. The collaborators
on this project attempt to help as many people as possible, but we're a limited number of volunteers,
so it's possible this won't be addressed swiftly.

It should disable loading of any babelrc file. Which behavior are you seeing?

[benmccann]

Ok. I have a babelrc and when I change its contents, it still has an effect eventhough I've set babelrc: false. Other users have reported babelrc: false not working as well

I see it loading the babelrc still

Could you share a repository which shows the bug?
