>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-476
>             Project: Apache Rat
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: core engine
>            Reporter: Arnout Engelen
>            Priority: Major
>
> currently, RAT processes all 'unignore' patterns separately from all 'ignore' 
> patterns, and only takes into account precedence withing those groups. This 
> does not match the gitignore semantics, where ignore/unignore patterns are 
> evaluated on each precedence level. I think it would make sense to align to 
> the gitignore semantics, but possibly we should evaluate if that'd conflict 
> with ignore logic for other VCS'es.
> See discussion in [https://github.com/apache/creadur-rat/pull/433] for 
> background
