# off the report so contributors get the offending file list, not a
# Java stack trace. --input-exclude-parsed-scm GIT honours
# .gitignore; --input-exclude-std GIT/HIDDEN_DIR skips VCS metadata.
# --input-include '**/.gitignore' overrides those exclusions for the
# tracked .gitignore files themselves (parsed-scm GIT otherwise
# self-excludes the ignore files), so RAT enforces the ASF header
# that tools/dev/add-license-headers.py stamps into them. (.git/ is
# still skipped as a hidden dir; .apache-magpie-overrides/.gitignore
# stays excluded under its hidden dir.)
