Hi,
When you provide Automake 1.4 a directory name to EXTRA_DIST it slurps in
the entire directory into the distribution including any CVS
directories. This is strictly not a bug as per the documentation but makes
the feature rather useless. Can we fix this to exclude CVS subdirectories
and backup files (files ending in ~). Thanks.
Ganesan
