Ignasi Barrera updated RAT-171:
-------------------------------
Attachment: RAT-171.patch
As suggested, I've updated the patch to make it more generic.
By default the plugin will exclude the contents of the .gitignore file, but
there is also a new property that allows users to configure the files to be
used for that purpose.
> Implicit ignores should include git-ignored files

>
> The apache-rat-plugin ignores by default the .gitignore files. However, for
> every file/pattern added to those files, an explicit exclusion must be set in
> the plugin's configuration.
> Given that git-ignored files won't be uploaded to the SCM and shouldn't be
> part of a release, it would be nice that the apache-rat-plugin automatically
> considered those git-ignored files as implicit exclusions.
