paster create normally adds the .egg-info directory, but ignores all the 
Setuptools-created files, and some Paste packages (including paster 
create) add files in that directory.  I won't say that's a good idea, 
and I probably wouldn't go in this direction if starting from scratch... 
putting just one or two files under version control, but ignoring the 
rest, is quite awkward.  I usually set svn:ignore in the egg-info 
directory to *, and then you can still opt-in specific files if you want 
to (or I leave egg-info out of version control entirely).
