    Description

      As I understand it, RAT is used to ensure the LICENSE text is in all source files. Anything ignored by SCM is not technically a source file. These other files are usually specific to the developer environment. And the developer will already be adding such files to their own `SCMignore`. Perhaps a pluggable ingore mechanism that could have an implementation per SCM and would know how to parse that ignore and translate filter out all the files it specifies. Perhaps this could be an option to the the rat config `useGitIgnore` or something. What do you think?
