Claude Warren commented on RAT-246:
-----------------------------------

I think we just need a good test case for this and we can close it as I believe that it is resolved.

>                 Key: RAT-246
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-246
>             Project: Apache Rat
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>    Affects Versions: 0.12, 0.13
>            Reporter: Ilya Basin
>            Priority: Minor

> Due to my Eclipse plugins set, when I import a maven project, a .checkstyle file is generated there. As I learned later, RAT 0.13-SNAPSHOT ignores .checkstyle files, so I repeated my tests with a different filename.
> If a pattern is explicitly mentioned in the .gitignore in the project folder, RAT does not complain. However, if the pattern is only mentioned in a parent .gitignore, the RAT check fails.
> {code:java}
> [il@reallin wagon-scm]$ touch .someignoredfile
> [il@reallin wagon-scm]$ echo .someignoredfile >>../../.gitignore
> [il@reallin wagon-scm]$ git add .someignoredfile
> The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
> wagon-providers/wagon-scm/.someignoredfile
> Use -f if you really want to add them.
> fatal: no files added
> [il@reallin wagon-scm]$ mvn apache-rat:check
