Ah cool.

Ah, ok. In another task we were told to use the new way :D

The global exclude stuff is actually not for *all* of the linters. We, for example, have linters that make sure vendored in stuff has a LICENSE file, etc. So that doesn't help here :-(

At scale the json format is a huge pain:

A way to support this would be to let .arclint be PHP as well as json. The json is super annoying to deal with, and with PHP we could use variables and such.

FWIW, this is what broke / why we override:

This again broke our arc workflow. I'll look if it is needed though it would be nice to get a revert.

I'm actually revamping our linters and don't think this will be an issue in the future, so let's keep it this way for now. I'll put up a diff if it later becomes an issue.

We basically do

 // Path regexes to run clang-format on
$whitelist = array(
  // '#^BLAH/.*#',
);
