Arnout Engelen created RAT-476:
----------------------------------
Summary: ignore precedence rules do not match gitignore semantics
Key: RAT-476
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-476
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core engine
Reporter: Arnout Engelen
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
