Michael Osipov commented on SCM-883:
------------------------------------
[~kwin], I have created a PR for this. I am changing my opinion. Those files
are first class repo members. If someone wants to exclude them that's his task.
Repo management dirs should, though, remain in default excludes.
> ScmFileSet DEFAULT_EXCLUDES too restrictive
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: SCM-883
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-883
> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-scm-api
> Affects Versions: 1.9.5
> Reporter: Fabian Köntopp
> Assignee: Michael Osipov
> Priority: Minor
>
> We are trying to automate a process in which a default *.gitignore* file
> *only* (ignoring the current state of the repository) is added to a
> repository at the root level. Because of the DEFAULT_EXCLUDES in the
> ScmFileSet-Class this is impossible because .gitignore is listed there and
> the default excludes are always added to the final exlude list.
> In my opinion the .gitignore file should not be listed there because such
> files are part of a git repository. At least it should be possible to
> override the excludes completely without the DEFAULT_EXCLUDES always being
> added.
