> It's for avoiding creating files in source tree on host. I understood that. But my question is still: why is that needed in practice (except for artifacts like docs)? You mention "They can't be removed by a normal user. It may break a build on host.", but did we have such issues in the past? (it has been done in-source forever) As Raúl mentions, this is quite annoying for the python build which assumes to be either in the git repo, or otherwise built from an sdist which has the version encoded in its files (but so not from a plain copy of the sources) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
