When running BiocCheck, I get complaints about file sizes in the .git
folder. Checking the code I have noticed it uses R CMD INSTALL on the pkg
directory. As .Rbuildignore is afaik not taken into account by INSTALL, I
reckoned somewhere in the process R CMD INSTALL drags the .git folder along.

I might have been too quick with my assessment, I will dig a bit deeper
tonight
