html comments inside build block

[vitalets]

I've commented some script tags inside build:js block, but still getting commented files (main.js) in concat:

    <!-- build:js all.min.js -->
    <script src="scripts/app.js"></script>
    <!-- <script src="scripts/controllers/main.js"></script> -->
    <!-- endbuild -->

is it a bug, or I'm doing something wrong?

this is somewhat similar to #137

This also looks similar to the problem with HTML that is not written line-by-line; to produce correct results for a wide array of cases, usemin needs to operate at the HTML structure level, which would also solve this problem.

Have the same problem. I have commented list of Foundation modules <script> tags and although they are all inside a comment, they are still being concat'ed. Of course I can place the tag before those commented lines, but it's kinda hack and doesn't allow me to uncomment the modules that I just want to use.

@kylecordes, if you're interested in contributing / adding thoughts, there's an open issue here: #244

This caused a surprising build-only issue for us. Makes sense when you understand that the tool operates only using regex, but It's an easy mistake to make: "Oh, we might not want this library, let me comment it out".

Nope. Whammo: stitchmin-only issue, and those are the worst.

Careful y'all: Don't comment out script tags inside your usemin block, it will bite you.
