Hi All,
Thanks for all the comments.
Cloning to a tmp folder and checking out a specific commit is both quick
and easy. That's not a bad idea: it should eliminate the point of failure
that occurred here.
(The `git clean` step should do that too, we use the `fdx` flags to
eliminate ignored f
Hi Carlton,
I have had problems in the past with `setup.py sdist` and friends
actually depending on existing artefacts in build directories from

gitignore. Note you can do a

I also ran into this several times while releasing Channels - several
releases had the wrong files ship out in them due to Git weirdness.
