Need help with distutils

Hello. I need some help with using distutils. When I run
   python setup.py sdist
all my .cvsignore files are included, and I don't see a reason for them to
be included in the source dist, so I want to get rid of them
automagically. I tried using 'prune' in MANIFEST.in, but that didn't work,
so I tried 'recursive-exclude . .cvsignore' but that didn't seem to work
either (warning: no previously-included files matching '.cvsignore' found
under directory '.')

Am I attacking this the wrong way?

Any help appreciated.


Regards,
Martin Sjögren
