debian-adds-git-control-dir

The Debian diff or native package contains files in a .git directory. These are usually artifacts of the revision control system used by the Debian maintainer and not useful in a diff or native package. dpkg-source will automatically exclude these if it is passed -I or -i for native and non-native packages respectively.

For more information please consult:

the dpkg-source(1) manual page
