[Larceny-users] Using git with larceny's repository

[Lynn Winebarger]

Hello,

I've started using git to track the larceny repository.  Since
larceny's build process is really geared to happen in place, it seems
like I'm either going to have to a dance with copying the directory
after a build and then clearing the build by checking out the last
committed version, or I need to set up the "exclude" file and
.gitignore files to ignore autogenerated and object files.

It seems like the easiest way to do this is to just exclude
(a) *.[ac]h  and then negate the specific file instances that aren't
autogenerated
(b) *.l[ao]p
(c) *.o, *.fasl, *.slfasl
(d) Makefile
(d) a bunch of specific exclusions that we know are autogenerated

Has anyone already worked out that file (and would be willing to share it)?
I also noticed that the results of the sassy tests are in the
repository while poking around.

Thanks,
Lynn
