Assessment

Description

When building the catalogue before uploading, dotfiles are ignored because of the call to ignoreDotFiles() src/Deployer.php#L239.
We need to whitelist some of them, which are essential to the general functioning of the website: .htaccess and .bolt.yml. There might be others.
