It's not like the developers will develop with a > read-only source tree, right? There are many different people who build gcc from snapshots, not releases, for various different reasons. It would be good if those people could continue to build from a read-only source directory. It would be good if those people could get .info files appropriate to their source code. Of course releases should continue to contain .info files. We do not want .info files to be part of source code control for development, but we do want them to be part of source code control for releases. That means that there is no correct setting for svn:ignore or whatever. This can be worked around, it's just a minor pain. Ian
