A tarball for distribution should not contain anything that has not been committed to version control. If you have content that you do not want to appear (yet) on the release branch, then make a branch for the release candidate, tag a commit on that branch and the checkout that tag to build the tarball. > I can push a tag with all committed changes, but the idea is that my > last commit could be tagged as the release. Tags are cheap, so there is no reason not to tag the -rc1 build in the tree, and then tag the actual release later on. If both tags point at the same commit that is not a problem. AndyM
