I'm not sure why, but this line causes any files or directories that contain the string "xml" in their name to be ignored. My project directory is "XML-Feed-Tool" and phpcs would ignore all of my files. I was mainly focused on a file named "XmlFeedScanner.php" which was still ignored when copied to a new directory called "testing." If I rename the file to something else, like "test.php" inside the "testing" directory, it works fine. I confirmed that commenting out this line restores functionality in my "Xml-Feed-Tool" project.
