What about disabling it only when .git/ is available? There seems nothing wrong with doing one-time builds inside an extracted tarball on central build servers; most of the problems arise when building inside the developer's git checkout. If we do drop support for building in-tree (always or with Git), we could also drop most of the .gitignore clutter. :) Cheers, Andreas -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer; HRB 16746 AG Nürnberg
