Hmmmm, is marking a resource as "derived" recursive? i.e. if I mark "output" folder as derived, would anything under it be considered derived? It'd be a pain to go a mark as derived each and every class.

I suppose you still need the patch to use Team.isIgnoredHint to get derived resources to be ignored, correct?

That'd probably be the proper solution to the decoration issue at hand.

Hmmmm, so the proper way is either marking resources as derived and use your patch or implementing .git/info/exclude, correct?
