Code review comment for lp:~tomek3d/calibre/store

Revision history for this message

I'd rather not do that. It adds an extra thing to remember both for me
and for other people, as sometimes there are commits that affect both
the recipes/ directory and files outside it as well. For instance this
commonly happens when I run python setup.py check on the whole tree
before making a release.

Regarding kalibrator, what is the problem exactly? If the issue is that
some recipes are ignored in the global .gitignore I can always move
those ignores into .git/info/exclude.
