Cookiecutter is really helpful, and I'm grateful that you have done this work. However, it needs some way to express that a folder is not a template. It's just stuff to be copied to the output.

I'm working on something with which I want to distribute google mock. But some of the gmock code looks like template code to jinjia. I could find all of that stuff and escape it, but then I'd have to redo it for the next version of gmock, and I don't really think changing gmock is a good idea anyway.

Maybe there is some way to do this, but I haven't found it.
