Description

I'd like to be able to have a 'development' profile which I configure to include all versioning files. I'm dealing with complicated overlays, and sometimes it's simply easiest to fix a jsp or so directly on the spot where it is deployed, on the test-server or so, and check it in from there too. Probably I could also change our habits or so, and find some way of working which is more or less handy too, but for the moment I have no idea how that would go, and everything would work just fine if the 'useDefaultExcludes' feature can be disabled with a configuration option.

I tried to implement it myself, and am attaching a patch, which includes such an option.
