R CMD check dislikes .git directories

Okay, that helps. I don't think the problem is git versus svn, it's that you've got executable files in a directory where check shouldn't be looking. I don't think .Rbuildignore would help you. I'll pass this on as a bug...
I've complained about this in the past, and I was told that "good practice" was to run R CMD check on the file created by R CMD build.
That's true, and it would solve the problem, which may be why it hasn't been a high enough priority to fix. I won't fix it: check is written in Perl, and I don't know Perl well enough to want to mess with it. But maybe a second complaint about it will motivate someone who does know Perl to put together a fix. Duncan Murdoch
