From 6da47936c63039792a0cbf9021e69f2cd1ad4731 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Roland=20H=C3=A4der?= Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2018 02:27:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] renamed .htaccess to .htaccess-dist and ignored .htaccess afterwards (#5428) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * renamed .htaccess to .htaccess-dist and ignored .htaccess afterwards. This allows local changes to it without having a dirty checkout directory.
