Subject: Dealing with .git folder when using R CMD INSTALL
Dear all,
quite a few package tools depend on R CMD INSTALL today for rapid testing
of a package, eg:
- devtools::install()
- BiocCheck::BiocCheck()
I've noticed that at least BiocCheck() doesn't ignore version control
folders like .git. Trying to find out why this was, lead me to R CMD
INSTALL.
I know this R CMD build ignores these files and folders by default, but R
CMD INSTALL doesn't apparently. Is there a way to tell R CMD INSTALL to
ignore at least the .git folder, or are there plans to add this the R CMD
INSTALL? And if so, where do I file the request best?
Cheers
Joris
