Re: Autogenerated header files not included in .gitignore

PS:

Alternatively to the suggestion of a new gnulib-tool option "--vc-files=...", one could also make Gnulib's behavior dependent on the presence of a file, say ".gnulib-in-tree-build". This has the advantage that no source files have to be changed to switch from one behavior to the other but that, in principle, a developer can decide to switch to in-tree builds by touching such a file locally.

I have been experimenting a bit with building in a dedicated build directory. Nevertheless, I still end up with artefacts in the source directory, which are not covered by Gnulib's .gitignore files, for example with:

lib/iconv_open-aix.h
lib/iconv_open-hpux.h
lib/iconv_open-irix.h
lib/iconv_open-osf.h
lib/iconv_open-solaris.h
lib/iconv_open-zos.h

Thanks,

Marc

The developers who are using the first approach will not like this.
