> The apache-rat-plugin ignores by default the .gitignore files. However, for every file/pattern added to those files, an explicit exclusion must be set in the plugin's configuration.
> Given that git-ignored files won't be uploaded to the SCM and shouldn't be part of a release, it would be nice that the apache-rat-plugin automatically considered those git-ignored files as implicit exclusions.
