why does Laravel 4 gitignore composer.lock
laravel, laravel-4, php
Solution
According to the author of Laravel here https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/1412:
It is recommended for your own apps, not for frameworks.
Problem
Why does the default laravel4 have the composer.lock file included in the .gitignore repo? It seems to contradict composers recommendations to commit this file into VCS. I was wondering if there was something I didn't know that justified this?
