Looking at some projects filed away here, I find I've been inconsistent so would appreciate it if somebody could say authoritatively: what types of file should be put in a repository, and what is regenerated reliably?

Obviously .lpi, .lpr, .lfm and .pas or .pp should be saved, and any static .inc files.

I presume that anything machine-generated and usually put into the lib directory shouldn't be stored even if it ends up elsewhere: .ppu, .o, .a, .res, .or.

What about things like .lrs and .rst?

.rst is also regenerated, no need to store them.

Thanks Michael, it was your comment about ResourceStrings that reminded me to ask this.

What about .lrs, since it looks as though it's generated from .lfm?

It's actually .lrs that I find I'm storing inconsistently :-)

svn ls http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ide | cut -d . -f 2 |sort |uniq returns

dci
fpc
ico
inc
lfm
lpi
lpr
pas
pp
rc
res
xml

i.e. specifically includes .rc and .res but not .lrs.
