tags 435126 + patch
thanks
Hello,
I agree with maks that it would be nice if dpkg-source excluded those
directories by default. Thus I made this small patch.
If Guillem or Frank are OK with this patch, I can apply it myself.
I tested it here and it works fine at least in the case of dpkg's git
repository.
Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] dpkg-source: exclude directories created by distributed VCS from a native tarball build
It's much more convenient to be able to start a build from the VCS tree
instead of having to make an export or similar. This is particularly true
with distributed VCS which tend to keep all their stuff in a single directory
at the root of the tree. Current list includes bzr/git/hg/darcs/arch.
