Description

Trying to exclude some .m files in a directory from being targeted, as I need to specifically declare them one by one and add the right compiler flags to them. When I include them in the excludes list, they do not get excluded. .c files do however get excluded..

Isn't excluded:

 sources:
   - path: "MPOS"
      excludes:
          - "/../../aFile.m"

Is Excluded:

 sources:
   - path: "MPOS"
      excludes:
                - "/../../anotherFile.c"

When built, anotherFile.c has the correct compiler flags but aFile.m doesn't:

- path: "/../../aFile.m"
   compilerFlags: "-fno-objc-arc -w"
- path: "/../../anotherFile.c"
   compilerFlags: "-fno-objc-arc -w"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the shown XcodeGen YAML, comparing exclusion handling for the .m and .c paths and inspecting the generated target entries. Done means the .m file is excluded like the .c file while explicitly declared compiler flags remain applied to the intended files.
