I just realised that this still includes an empty dev directory in the
tarball, and that I would additionally like to exclude the .github
subdirectory (and probably even more of the development files that
reside in the repo, unless there's a policy against that).

I tried changing the file's contents to:

  dev
  .github

and:

  ./dev
  ./.github

and even:

  packages/dash/dev
  packages/dash/.github

thinking it may be related to the directory from which
'tar -X .elpaignore' is called, but the result of
'make dash.tar' stubbornly continues to include both subdirectories.
What am I doing wrong?  Should I just use :ignored-files instead?

Thanks,

Yes, of course.  It only matches the files within that directory.

Hmm... that should work.

Not sure about this one.

Now you're getting into the messy territory that I'd rather not be
exposed (yet is, indeed).

`:ignored-files` should have the same effect, AFAIK (it uses the same
mechanism).
