For example: <A HREF="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXcursor/tree/.gitignore">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXcursor/tree/.gitignore</A> You wil be able to remove the .gitignore in the m4 directory. You can keep the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR but you will need to remove the -I m4 from the Makefile.am file. The build will fail on a newly cloned repo. The .gitignore is a file containing "patterns", it's not just a list of files. It applies to all subdirectories. </BODY> </HTML>
