asset pipeline require_tree includes js.orig files

[wireframe]

The rails 3.1 asset pipeline is including .orig files generated by git and causing the asset to be included twice in the generated bundle. I understand the .js.coffee convention, but .js.orig should be excluded from this list.

app/assets/javascripts/application.js

/**
 *= require_tree .
 */

app/assets/javascripts/example.js

alert('js loaded');

app/assets/javascripts/example.js.orig

alert('js loaded - should be ignored');

generates:
http://localhost:3000/assets/application.js

alert('js loaded');
alert('js loaded - should be ignored');

require_tree requires all the nested files in the directory. See https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets/blob/master/lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb#L280-L308

@vijaydev yes. i'm familiar with require_tree. the issue is that sprockets is including the .js.orig file into the package.

[vijaydev]

Yes, this is indeed a Sprockets "issue" :-) You may consider asking the Sprockets team if they will agree to make require_tree accept allowed extensions.

will do. thanks.

i ran into this issue today using a mutation of sprockets. glad it was documented :)
