Keeping your generated sources together with your hand-written sources sounds messy. I'd think that your feature would be confusing and intrusive for the participants of such a project. If they wanted to clean up old generated javascript files, they'd have to do complicated rm -rf *.js commands under certain directories. Most projects designate a 'target' or 'build' directory where generated resources are output (together with minified JS, compiled resources, packaged artifacts, etc). This is a very practical convention as it is (a) easily recognizable for team members, (b) straight forward to remove when doing some local cleanup, and (c) easy to ignore in .gitignore. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
