.htaccess files are not processed about templer

That is not intentional, and is a bug.

The code in sub assets in lib/Templer/Site.pm is supposed to correctly handle files with leading dots, and has comments to that effect.

A quick test shows things working as I'd expect on a new site:

 shelob ~ $ templer-generate tmp-site
 shelob ~ $ cd tmp-site/

 shelob ~/tmp-site $ touch input/.htaccess
 shelob ~/tmp-site $ templer
 All done: 2 page(s) updated in less than 1 second.

 shelob ~/tmp-site $ ls output/.htaccess 
 output/.htaccess

Similarly one of my existing sites also works correctly. Is there any chance you could add a verbose setting to lib/Templer/Site.pm at the point it invokes tar, or uses _findFiles to see why it is failing for you? Or share your site content so I can try building it locally?

Terribly sorry, it turned out to be a bug in my deployment script which wasn't picking up dotfiles. I feel a bit silly now. :)

I understand these things happen somtimes. Don't feel bad!
