While we are talking about files and tarball, would it be possible to
have Git branch containing exactly what gets released in the tarball?
Let me explain. For the Debian package, I have a Git repository, that
basically contains a copy of the upstream master, my Debian packaging
(which contains a debian/ directory in addition to the original
content), plus a special one called pristine-tar, used to provide enough
information to recreate the exact release tarball from the Git
repository content.
Well, I have found that the official tarballs are not directly made from
the release commits: some files get excluded. So I am currently
maintaining intermediary commits that remove unreleased files. It works
well enough with new releases, simply merging them gives correct
results. It is not a big issue but I have the feeling that this could be
done upstream.
