Description

Following the discussions in RAT-171 we'd like to manage SCM defaults that exclude the SCM's technical directory and its ignore file.

Currently that means:

• Subversion: .svn
• Git: .git and .gitignore
• Mercurial: .hg and .hgignore
• Bazar: .bzr and .bzrignore
• CVS: .cvs and .cvsignore

These defaults are activated as built-in defaults. The processing of ignore files can be activated separately (see RAT-171).

Issue Links

• is duplicated by: RAT-157 Use the *ignore file for the SCM to determine excludes
• is part of: RAT-171 Allow exclude patterns to be read from a file or files
