In that case, well, I do not want to modify upstream files... - what is the rationale to include .git* files in the .orig.tar.gz? I cannot find any, thus I expect the tool to create the archive does not take them into the account. Think about `dpkg-source -i` WRT CVS folder, for example. However, it seems that .gitattributes is the only way to specify files to be excluded from `git archive`: really, why the latter does not have any option to tar/zip? :-( BTW, the problem exists for .mailmap as well... Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
