As I said: lilypond uses _wildcards_ for finding things in its source  
directory.  Which is what caused this issue in the first place.  If you  
copy a whole build structure into a directory inside of the source  
directory, you can't expect the build system to magically not see anything  
you put inside of that build directory while it notices everything put in  
the source directory that it should see.

The build system could ask git whether a given file is known, but then it  
would become impossible to build LilyPond from a tarball instead of a git  
checkout.

Anyway, this patch fixes one problem in connection with your favorite  
directory arrangement, so it seems strange that you complain.
