Hello,

Since you people don't distribute tar files (which I'm completely fine with; I'm not complaining here), I use 'git archive' to create them for myself. When I run this, the '.gitignore' file also gets into there, but it isn't actually used in the source code - it's just for the VCS. Can you please add a '.gitattributes' file with the following content such that '.gitattributes' (when it's created) and '.gitignore' won't end up in the tarballs?

Content:

.gitattributes export-ignore
.gitignore export-ignore

Also, if there are any other git-related files scattered throughout the repo, you can also add them into the '.gitattributes' file; it's extendable.

Here's the branch if you just want to merge it in: https://github.com/kroq-gar78/The-Powder-Toy_deb/tree/gitattributes (commit 098db3dd8910259e051065d5d0d5652fc4a19b88)

Thanks!

Edit: I tested it and it works.

Thanks! I forgot that github distributes .tar.gz archives somehow...
