Those files would both be invisible when using the Finder.app unless you used ls in a terminal session, but I guess you figured that out > These were most likely included in error.

It also removes any directories with extension .Rcheck, and files .DS_Store and ._* (created by tar on Mac OS X under some circumstances: it now sets environment variables to ask for such files not to be created by that tar.) So we need to ask if this was just a warning message. It appears that there are mechanisms in place to remove those files.
