dpkg-source and .git directories.

[Rob Andrews <rob@choralone.org>]

Hi,

I'm maintaining a set of debian package differences in a git repository. I
prepare the package source diff thusly:

    cd packagename/
    tar --strip-components=1 -zxvf ../package-version.tar.gz
    dpkg-buildpackage -S -rfakeroot

Only, the .diff.gz includes the .git directory.

According to the dpkg-source script, the source diff shouldn't contain the
.git directories.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
rob.
