This may be new to 2.9.0, but I'm not sure, since I no longer have the older version. I notice that R CMD check has no problem with .svn directories, but it dislikes .git directories. That seems a bit of a problem, for folks like me who sometimes use git. Perhaps this behaviour could be changed?
According to the R Extensions manual, it excludes dirs named CVS, .svn, .arch-ids, .bzr, and git. Is .git the right thing to exclude instead of git, or are both possible?
Actually, that looks like a typo in the manual: the code excludes .git, not git. I'll fix the typo, but it means I don't know what error you're talking about. Could you post instructions for reproducing? Duncan Murdoch
The same section points out the workaround: use the .Rbuildignore file to say what isn't really part of your package. Duncan Murdoch
