Oops, I misspoke. The gnulib documentation does recommend to put gnulib-cache.m4 into the repository, but this is only a convenience for someone who wants to use the --add-import or --remove-import options and therefore not really necessary. The file that needs to be kept so that old files don't accumulate as garbage is gnulib-comp.m4. Sorry for the confusion. Bruno
