Where does this rule come from?
I wonder because with CouchDB, source tarballs are created through the
GNU-Autotools based build process, rather than being a raw `svn
export` of the release tag. We don't keep the auto*-generated
configure/make files in the repository (they are generated files after
all), but do include them in source tarballs to limit build-time
dependencies and make the build process easier for the user.
I guess we could start checking in the generating build files into SVN
if that's required. But maybe you can back that statement up a bit
before we do so?
Thanks,
