There's a fair chance that git is an example of software that's ignoring *.[oa] files. man gitignore for a list of files that influence what files git ignores. If you do a manual diff between freshly extracted .tar files, you can see that earlier versions have cide.a and cide.o and 0.48.3 does not. [I should note that I actually tried it only with 0.48.1 rather than 0.48.2, just because my local mirror doesn't have a copy of the 0.48.2 source.] pjrm.
