For my modules, I simply don=92t keep generated files in source control. =

`distclean` runs `distcheck`? WHU?

I have used `realclean` for, oh, probably a decade now. Definitely =
better. I also have this Git alias to get rid of all superfluous files:

[alias]
    cl =3D clean -dfx

So `git cl` does its thing. Must be some way to do that in SVN, too. I =
noticed a lot of generated files there were obviously not svn:ignored.

Best,
