R devel - Nov 2008 - checking for executable files ... WARNING

In R 2.8. I get the following warning when checking my package:

* checking for executable files ... WARNING
Found the following executable file(s):
  .git/objects/00/12947a4bb4379fb0c3bed740314a9f4ac72331
  .git/objects/00/21fac22a57a1567389ed34a9dc4f465c6cfd01
  .git/objects/00/29da5c289489fdb2249e19f4b165ff5b37b3e6
  .git/objects/00/36ad7f586eeac250e6609a1bf938e545101cb0
 ... (for about 300 lines)

I've tried putting .git in my .Rbuildignore, but this doesn't help the
problem.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hadley

Does 'R CMD build' a tarball and then 'R CMD check' not solve
this?
'build' skips git files, and you only need to worry about executables in
a tarball you ship.
