Ignore vcs folders for `source-type: local` builds
Metadata
Current evaluation
2017 feature request to auto-ignore .git/.bazaar/.hg (or add a source-ignore key) for source-type: local builds. No labels, comments, or maintainer interaction for ~8 years; .snapcraftignore workaround noted in the issue itself.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: Filed ~2017 against the snapcraft 1.x era; the project has since been fully rewritten (modern craft-parts-based snapcraft, visible in the repo's snapcraft/parts/ layout), the proposed source-ignore: key was never added to the schema, and the issue itself acknowledges .snapcraftignore as the supported workaround. Zero comments, no labels, and 2890 days of inactivity confirm it is no longer actionable in its original form. Confidence is moderate because code-search tools failed (pinned SHA errors), so I could not verify whether current local-source handling already excludes VCS dirs.
