Thanks!
I also noticed that my SOURCES.txt file contains the contents of mymodulepy.egg-info (which got added to my subversion repository when I initially added the project directory). I suspect I don't want this either.
That depends on the project; in some cases, files are put manually into .egg-info, or there are reasons to keep the generated files under revision control. The .egg-info directory is also automatically included in source distribution files.
So does it seem like a reasonable working method to develop in one's subversion sandbox, check everything in, then checkout a copy of the project somewhere else to build distributions? This might help to make sure one doesn't inadvertently get the extra files and directories created during the build process into subversion and inadvertently in your distribution package.
I'm not clear on how you can accidentally get something into subversion. In years of developing multiple packages with setuptools and subversion, I can't recall that I've ever accidentally typed "svn add build" or "svn add foobar.egg-info". ;-)
Of course, when I start a new project, I start by svn add-ing the new, empty directory, and then explicitly add files as I go. And when I start getting annoyed by svn stat showing a bunch of "?"'s, I go ahead and set svn:ignore as needed.
It's a lot less work than what you're describing, and even if I go too far with a wildcard add, there's always "svn rm" before checkin. (I always svn diff before checkin, so it's hard for an accidental add to go unnoticed.)
The usual way I get such stuff into SVN is via 'svn import': I then have to 'svn rm' it (usually after seeing the checkin message).
