Initially package-vc would automatically add these as ignored files using `vc-ignore', but I decided against keeping that behaviour in e08e9bc40, due to issues I should have documented at the time. > For example, when following these instructions to install hyperdrive.el: > https://ushin.org/hyperdrive/hyperdrive-manual.html#package_002dvc > > the git repository ends up with these extra untracked files: "Sadly", all of these files are necessary for package.el: > dir This file is used by info to indicate that there is a manual file that should be listed in in (dir) Top. > hyperdrive-autoloads.el This file contains all the autoload information, including function and user options stubs, that allow the user to invoke the package directly without a (require 'hyperdrive) > hyperdrive-pkg.el This contains the package descriptor, that tracks the basic package metadata used to decide what package to load. > hyperdrive.info This is the compiled manual, generated from a .texi or .org file in your repository. Without this file, there is no manual. So in summary, this is the difference between just cloning a repository and adding it to your `load-path'. Unless I am forgetting something, there shouldn't be any more files than these, so adding them to your .gitignore should be a constant effort and should solve the issue. > Best, > > Joseph
