> Due to the widespread use of git, I would find it much more intuitive if .rat-excludes worked like .gitignore. I think most people on the Spark project would agree (though, fair disclosure, I haven't polled them).
> Would it make sense to add a CLI option instructing RAT to interpret entries in the exclude file as wildcard expressions (as opposed to regular expressions) that work more or less like .gitignore?
> This feature request is somewhat related to RAT-265.
