In Debian we have a build line:
find debian/mediawiki -depth \( -name ".cvsignore" -o -name
".gitignore" \
-o -name ".arch-ids" \) -exec rm -rf {} \;
It would be much nicer if this happened upstream as part of producing
tarballs. Such files are only useful in checkouts, not snapshots.
(Is there a good place to report distributor pseudo-bugs or is this
list acceptable?)
Thanks,
