Bug Description
In 0.64.1, swiftlint passes.
In 0.65.0, swiftlint reports thousands of violations, all in folders that have been filed under excluded in the swiftlint.yml file
$ swiftlint lint
Environment

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with SwiftLint 0.65.0 using the shown swiftlint lint command and swiftlint.yml exclusions, then compare the result with 0.64.1. Done means files under DerivedData and Pods are no longer reported as violations when those paths are listed under excluded.
