Xen devel - Sep 2010 - .* entries in official release source tarballs

Since these are - afaict - meaningless outside of mercurial, would it be
possible to drop them when creating the tarballs?

Thanks, Jan

It would be possible but I don''t think it''s a good idea.  The
more
steps are involved in creating the official release tarballs, the more
likely it is that something will go wrong.

Are these files causing some kind of problem for you ?

No, not a problem really - they''re just confusing/meaningless there
(just like I thing .*ignore files scattered around source trees don''t
belong in release tarballs).
