R devel - Apr 2011 - Rcheck Directory

Hello,

There seems to be a minor conflict of interesting in R CMD check. It creates a
log directory, then gives a WARNING about it being there:

* using log directory /home/darstr/Repitools_github/pkg/Repitools.Rcheck
* using R version 2.13.0 RC (2011-04-05 r55310)
* using platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)
* using session charset: UTF-8
     ...                        ...

* checking package subdirectories ... WARNING
Found the following directory(s) with names of check directories:
  ./Repitools.Rcheck
Most likely, these were included erroneously.
     ...                        ...

It usually means that you ran 'R CMD check' once before _inside_
directory,
which usually fails, and you then went up a directory and did it again.
Folks used to upload archives like that to CRAN which is why this is now
checked for.

Warnings are your friends.  And, just like good friends, they sometimes go in
misterious ways...
