The report directory is commited when not in .gitignore

[wenzeslaus]

Describe the bug

The report directory is committed with fixes if it is not in the .gitignore, i.e., the commit to the PR has all the files from the report.

To Reproduce

In a (new) project, enable APPLY_FIXES, but do not add report directory to .gitignore. Make a change which triggers auto fixes.

Expected behavior

Since Mega-Linter knows that it generates the directory, it should not add it or alternatively, it could enforce adding it to .gitignore if APPLY_FIXES is enabled by applying a fix to .gitignore.

Additional context

Workaround is clear, either disable APPLY_FIXES or add report directory to your .gitignore.
