Allow binary files

[jayvdb]

Currently binary files cause an error.

They should be detected as non jinja, and copied to the source destination without being templated.

[chfw]

So you would like moban to copy files instead.

[jayvdb]

Yes.

Possibly these untemplated files could be listed in a different section instead of targets:?

[jayvdb]

maybe a new group called copy: ?

[jayvdb]

Also a copy could be used to copy templates from one repo to another repo, which cant be done atm because moban will apply the template .
i.e. https://gitlab.com/coala/mobans/issues/14

[chfw]

Accepted! Will use "copy:".

1. copy is self-explanatory. cannot be more clearer
2. copy: as separate, allows pain-free upgrade and incremental development.

[chfw]

syntax:

copy:
  - "target file path": "source file path inside template directories"

example:

copy:
  - "moban/setup.py": setup.py

[jayvdb]

Another possible keyword instead of copy might be sync.

But copy is ok. I just thought of another possibility.

I see you've already done some work on this. I'll do some testing of this asap.

I just noticed that yehua uses configuration: static_path: and static:

Should these concepts be merged?

[chfw]

yeah, yehua needed it to copy over template, overlapping with moban's new functionality.
