R devel - Jul 2006 - Add .git to SCM excludes for build and INSTALL scripts

Git is a source code management system like CVS, svn, arch, and
others.  

It would be nice to add exclude support to R CMD build and INSTALL so
that the .git subdir of an R package is handled appropriately.

Here is a possible patch:

diff --git a/src/scripts/INSTALL.in b/src/scripts/INSTALL.in

Thank you Seth,

I've committed the changes
(BTW: for some reason your patch did not cleanly apply to
build.in).

Regards,
Martin
