Hi Guido, just wondering why you merged 471581 471586? > This is quiet on purpose since we want to make sure the working copy is > clean - the export will be anyways (or once we export the index or the > full wc doesn't have to be). For the background: I've been using svn-buildpackage with the --svn-dont-clean option for a few of my packages, where I had to patch the build system (my preference is to patch Makefile.amS directly and run autoreconf during build time). In this case I have to clean up the (re)generated build files, so they don't end up in the diff.gz. This is admittedly a special case, so my bug report title was badly worded. A wishlist bug for a --git-dont-clean option would have been more apt. I just found out, that I can use --git-cleaner=true, which does exactly what I want. Would you consider adding this as "tip" to the gbp docs for svn-buildpackage converts like me?
