Hello RAT-people,
Hi Marvin
The RAT buildbot that Infra set up for Apache Lucy has a problem -- it's not
ignoring the contents of the .git repository directory.
http://ci.apache.org/projects/lucy/rat-output.html
I sent email to [email protected] a week ago and I opened an INFRA Jira ticket
yesterday. (This isn't a new problem, FWIW -- it's been broken for
months but I'm just getting around to dealing with it now.)

Thanks. I've added a comment.
It would be great if we could spare Infra from having to perform
time-consuming troubleshooting. Do any obvious solutions present themselves
to our resident RAT experts when they see that output? Upgrade RAT on the
buildslave? Put something in our `rat-excludes` file other than `.git/*`
(which didn't seem to help)?
I suspect that upgrading the Ant version would work, or adding a
explicit fileset exclusion to the ant build task.
I think it would be reasonable for Rat to maintain its own additional
list of excluded directories independent of the build platform. I've
opened a JIRA[1] but I think that this change would deserve some
thought. So, I'm not proposing to address this for the 0.10 Rat release.
