Philipp Ottlinger updated RAT-171:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
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.

h3. Example usage
Either configure parsing SCM ignore files by a environment variable 
{code}
mvn -U -debug -Drat.parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes=true
{code}
or in your configuration section of apache-rat-maven plugin 
{code}
<parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes>true</true>

This features is enabled by default.

As if now this feature is not enabled by default.
