Another way to look at it is this: It is useful to be able to do cvs diff or C-x v = on a gnulib file, in case you need to work on the file. I don't believe it is ever useful to be able to do cvs diff or C-x v = on a autoconf/automake generated file.
Could you explain why this would be useful? The changes would get lost in the next update. If I find a bug in gnulib, then I would fetch a copy of gnulib and fix the bug there. Same thing with autoconf.
This does not change the argument that it is not useful to do a 'cvs diff' on a autotools or otherwise autogenerated file. Hence it is better not to have them in the repository. Happy hacking, Debarshi -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu
