| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This property did not only exclude auxiliary inputs, but all kinds of inputs ("inputs", "auxiliaryInputs", "explicitlyDependsOn"), which happens to be what we want, as it does not appear to make any sense to exclude only tags from one of the relevant "input-like" properties. But the behavior was inconsistent: When building the (product-local) rule graph, the property was considered, but not when collecting artifacts from other products during rule application. This is now fixed. [ChangeLog] The excludedAuxiliaryInputs property of the Rule item has been renamed to excludedInputs. The old name is deprecated.
