gitattributes: do not export tests [closes #1529]

[TomasVotruba]

Tests are not needed by composer.

Hi @TomasVotruba, thanks for this PR! Do you think you can exclude the features folder folder as well? That's the one with the huge file names because of the Behat features. Thank you!

[TomasVotruba]

@mvriel Sure. While we're at it, all these are not used by composer, so I'd exclude them as well:

• /ansible
• /docs
• /features
• /tests
• .gitattributes
• .gitignore
• .scrutinizer.yml
• .travis.yml
• CHANGELOG.md
• CONTRIBUTING.md
• README.md
• Vagrantfile
• behat.yml
• box.json
• build.xml
• package.xml
• phpdoc.dist.xml
• phpmd.xml.dist
• phpunit.xml.dist
• wercker.yml

IIRC is .gitattributes and .gitignore used by composer because composer does git clones when you prefer-source it; the VERSION file is required for the correct functioning of phpDocumentor; I also don't know how composer will react when the composer.json and lock file are excluded in this way

[mvriel]

The rest does indeed look redundant for a composer installation

[TomasVotruba]

Sorry, I forgot to remove composer.* while copying. They shall be kept.

.gitattributes and .gitignore can be left out with no problem. I'm using it in many repo, Doctrine too etc.

I've updated the list above.

[mvriel]

Looks like a perfect list 👍

[TomasVotruba]

It's up!

This commit needs to be cherry-picked to the master branch as well because that is where the phpDocumentor 2.8.* release is (develop is phpDocumentor 3); I can do that tomorrow (I am in the midst of a refactoring that I'd rather not stash now :) )

[TomasVotruba]

👍

@mvriel Any update on this? I'm having this problem on Win 8.1 x64 on a phpdoc 2.8.2 that I pulled today. Thanks :)

[mvriel]

Apparently this task slipped my mind; I have just cherry-picked this to master and tagged 2.8.3
