Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.8.10
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

When building a 1.0 format package from a git repository, lintian notes that
..git* files and dirs are not part of the orig.tar.gz source:

> chrisc@xaphod:/var/cache/pbuilder/result$ lintian -Ivi --pedantic
> angband_3.2.0-1_i386.changes 
> N: Setting up lab in /tmp/esv0j1oUBP ...
> N: Processing 3 packages...
> N: ----
> N: Processing changes file angband_3.2.0-1_i386 (version 1:3.2.0-1) ...
> N: ----
> N: Processing source package angband (version 1:3.2.0-1) ...
> P: angband source:
> direct-changes-in-diff-but-no-patch-system .gitmodules and 7 more

IMHO it would be very helpful if anything beginning with .git was ignored,
either by default or when dpkg-buildpackage is invoked with the -i option.

Thanks,

CC
