-------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Use the *ignore file for the SCM to determine excludes
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-157
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-157
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: lucas theisen
> Priority: Minor
>
> As I understand it, RAT is used to ensure the LICENSE text is in all source
> files. Anything ignored by SCM is not technically a source file. These
> other files are usually specific to the developer environment. And the
> developer will already be adding such files to their own `SCMignore`.
> Perhaps a pluggable ingore mechanism that could have an implementation per
> SCM and would know how to parse that ignore and translate filter out all the
> files it specifies. Perhaps this could be an option to the the rat config
> `useGitIgnore` or something. What do you think?
