Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-171:
---------------------------------------
Hi [~ctubbsii][~denn...@apache.org],
both tickets RAT-171 and RAT-172 refer to the same topic. One just provides a
definition of ignore files, while the other attempts to parse these files and
add its contents to the RAT exclusion file list. This extra functionality (to
parse the SCM ignore files) is not yet implemented. Therefore both tickets are
not closed/fixed.
> Allow exclude patterns to be read from a file or 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.
