Let me just throw in that my uses cases for all of my projects so far are:

1. There should not be any file included in the distribution that isn't included under VCS.

1.a. *except* that there is this one Python source code file named _version.py which is autogenerated from VCS and is not itself stored in VCS, documented here:

http://allmydata.org/trac/darcsver/browser/README.txt

2. There should not be any file included under VCS that isn't included in the distribution.

Therefore, for me, setuptools's VCS-integration and include_package_data=True is perfect.
