Exclude JSON files from r.js optimizer

I use a config.json file in my application to configure the application (big surprise) after deployment, pulling them in using the requirejs-text plugin. Ideally, I would like to keep this JSON file (among others) out of the optimized built file.

Here is my app hierarchy:

app/
   data/
       config.json
       ...
   scripts/
       main.js // require.config in here
       controllers/
           ctrl.js // Uses JSON files

My current build options (through gulp) for require.js are

{
    baseUrl: 'app/scripts',
    mainConfigFile: 'app/scripts/main.js',
    name: 'main',
    out: 'main.js'
}

Since these are just flat files I want to exclude and not modules, is there a way of keeping them out of the final file?

If you list it in the dependencies as 'text!config.json', you should be able to exclude it by listing it in exclude list as 'text!config.json'. I created a fake project to test it and it worked.

So:

{
    baseUrl: 'app/scripts',
    mainConfigFile: 'app/scripts/main.js',
    name: 'main',
    out: 'main.js',
    exclude: ['text!config.json']
}
