Christopher Tubbs commented on RAT-171:
---------------------------------------
For git, does this support the full range of patterns, and able to tell the
difference between:
# target ~(any file or directory named target)~
# /target ~(any file or directory named target at the root of the git
repository)~
# target/ ~(any directory named target)~
# /target/ ~(any directory named target at the root of the git repository)~
# /target* ~(any file or directory whose name starts with target at the root of
the git repository)~
(Related: does this change try to parse the SCM ignore files themselves, or
rely on the SCM in some way to parse these files?)
> Allow exclude patterns to be read from a file or files

> h3. Context
> 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. Implemented for
> Currently implemented for the following soure code management systems:
> * SVN
> * Git
> * Bazaar
> * Mercurial and
> * CVS.
> h3. Example usage
> You can 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>
> {code}
> This features is enabled by default.
> In case you want to speed up the build you may disable it and set it to
> {code}
> false
> {code}
> .
