**[SCM-883](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-883?redirect=false)** and
commented
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.
