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).
