The primary purpose of those files are git commands. Having them evaluated by other tools is kind of unexpected (at least for me)... We already strip some other metadata which may potentially be evaluated during build as well (https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-utils/blob/7f5114af7d0c4d19838a9e0082758ec0f5e0269e/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/AbstractScanner.java#L55). What about ".cvsignore"? That may be evaluated during build time as well. I agree that given the circumstances we should not try to strip too many things from either .jar, .source.jar or source.zip. Not sure if we need to actually reduce the default excludes from https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-utils/blob/7f5114af7d0c4d19838a9e0082758ec0f5e0269e/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/AbstractScanner.java#L55 even further...
