Research direction

Start with the Cloud Foundry deployment documentation linked in the issue, then inspect the Gradle plugin's application upload and file-exclusion handling. Determine where ignore files are processed and verify that a project's .cfignore rules affect the uploaded files; the issue provides no specific source file or test to run.

Description

enhancement operations triaged

In cloud foundry documentation https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/prepare-to-deploy.html we can find following sentence:

"By default, when you push an application, all files in the application’s project directory tree are uploaded to your Cloud Foundry instance, except version control or configuration files with the following file extensions:

.cfignore

...."
It will be great if gradle plugin also interpret properly .cfignore file content.
