It appears that MANIFEST.in is ignored if setuptools recognizes your VCS. Although there's so much magic in this particular facet of setuptools that I never have much confidence in my understanding. Did setuptools recently learn about git? For a while, an advantage of git was that setuptools ignored it. I would love an option to ignore VCS and let me specify what I want *explicitly*.
