I suggest reversing the "mode of operation" of this package, so that it only cleans packages that are included not packages that are excluded. This issue takes the idea a step further than #13.
The current mode of operation can be turned on so that it is obvious by looking at the composer.json that there is indeed a cleaner doing stuff. But the default should be not-cleaning-anything!
Steps To Reproduce
install this package into a project
wait about 1 year and forget about it
install another package with assets and other stuff outside of src directory into the project
wonder:
why the assets are removed before they get copied intu public dir
where is that bower.json that should be there
why are there no other files besides src dir and composer.json
where is the readme of that other package that would be helpful now
bang your head into a wall
composer remove dg/composer-cleaner
Sorry, I'm no expert on everything. First i thought it was a feature of composer itself. There was no trace of it. No google results, nothing. Then I searched my composer.json for a configuration that would suggest something why the files are being removed. I noticed they are actually being removed. First I thought they are not even downloaded. In the end I discovered this package. I had not known that it was possible to have a package register a cleaning procedure. Sorry for that. But I believe there are others who might be misfortunate enough to install this package and forget that it's sitting there eating away all the assets, package-management scripts, readmes and all.
