I don't quite understand: are those .tar.gz files stored in _source_ repository? That would be a bit strange... I guess that you have tried adding "*.tar.gz" to either .gitignore or .git/info/excludes file? Another solution would be (if they are truly needed to reside in repository) to re-checkout them as a last part of build process / after-build process. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
