Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-157: --------------------------------------- Your request is implemented via RAT-171 and RAT-172 for the following soure code management systems: * SVN * Git * Bazaar * Mercurial and * CVS. > Use the *ignore file for the SCM to determine excludes > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: RAT-157 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-157 > Project: Apache Rat > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: lucas theisen > Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.12 > > > As I understand it, RAT is used to ensure the LICENSE text is in all source > files. Anything ignored by SCM is not technically a source file. These > other files are usually specific to the developer environment. And the > developer will already be adding such files to their own `SCMignore`. > Perhaps a pluggable ingore mechanism that could have an implementation per > SCM and would know how to parse that ignore and translate filter out all the > files it specifies. Perhaps this could be an option to the the rat config > `useGitIgnore` or something. What do you think? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
