Create a *.gitignore* with only this:
{code:java}
*.txt
{code}
Then do
{code:bash}
git init .
git add .
git commit -m"Init"
{code}
Now create 2 files that will be ignored by git
{code:bash}
touch one.txt
mkdir test
touch test/two.txt
{code}
{code:java}
$ git status
On branch main
nothing to commit, working tree clean
{code}
{*}Important{*}: Both .txt files are not shown because they are ignored by git.
{code:java}
$ mvn org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.15:check -X

[INFO] Will parse SCM ignores for exclusions...
[INFO] Parsing exclusions from
/home/nbasjes/workspace/Prive/BugReports/Rat/.gitignore
[DEBUG] Added *.txt

[DEBUG] Implicit exclude: *.txt
...
[DEBUG] - excluded one.txt
...
[DEBUG] - included test/two.txt
...
[WARNING] Files with unapproved licenses:
test/two.txt
{code}
The problem is that the *test/two.txt* should also be excluded.
A while ago I wrote a gitignore module as part of this project. Note that my
implementation is also not a perfect match with what git does, but it is closer.
