           Summary: Allow comments in PatternSet includesfile and
                    excludesfile
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: issues.apache.org@chasmcity.com


There would appear to be no way to add comments to files that are included by
PatternSet includesfile and excludes file.

It would be great to be able to add comments to these files, perhaps using the #
character.

I was just thinking this yesterday actually.  Let me do some research.

Does anyone have any knowledge of a character that is completely invalid in a
filename for all platforms?  Just UNIX and Windows, even, for a start?  Most
characters seem usable on UNIX platforms when escaped, so I can't locate a
character that would be a suitable comment indicator for includes/excludes files.

Haven't checked, but isn't this possible already by using XML comments?

Hmm... I haven't checked either, but how would that work?  e.g. the
documentation of <patternset> shows:

includesfile  	the name of a file; each line of this file is taken to be an
include pattern.

I don't think there is one.

Here's a suggestion - add an optional attribute to <includesfile> and
<excludesfile> which instructs the task/type to look for comments in the file. 
Then you could use something obvious like the # character, but you have to
explictly enable their use in the Ant script.  The defautt would be to treat
every line as a file pattern.

It will make more sense/be feasible to do this later.
