minor #4957 DX: Check trailing spaces in project files only (ktomk)
This PR was merged into the 2.15 branch. Discussion ---------- DX: Check trailing spaces in project files only (minor change despite longer description) Previously the `check_trailing_spaces.sh` script was checking files that do not belong to the project, for example: - diverse `composer.lock` files - local development files like `.idea` or temporary files created In its' previous design, the list of files to check for trailing spaces is generated by `find` which is not aware about different files (not) in the project. To exclude non-project files, it worked with a larger blacklist of checking if a file is not in diverse paths, for example and most prominently: - -not -path "./.git/*" which is kind of contradictory as the project *is* managed by git, but that folder can have a totally different name. This blacklist is pretty verbose and also needs extra knowledge and care due to the nature of `find` as it operates on file-system level, not project level. Files in the project are managed by `git` and `git` knows which files belong into the project and which not. Git on ... - ... repository level contains the information which project files are ignored. for example the `composer.lock` files. - ... developer or system level also knows about which files are ignored. for example the `.idea` folder (see "global .gitignore") Change here is to replace `find` as file-system only utility with `git` itself, namely the `git-ls-files` command, for the operation to obtain the list of files to check. the `find` package (*findutils*) is not replaced as the `xargs` utility from it is in use. This allows to drop the manually crafted blacklist and to specifically mark paths/files not to be checked which are (only) the test fixtures in: - tests/Fixtures/ The knowledge of git about the project itself and how the developer works next to the reduced list of files to check has the additional benefit of a cache and overall results in a much better performance.
