Subject: <pkg>-rsync: exclude version control files
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b681efa4c2910c020662c1510efb4ee17008a17;p=buildroot.git

<pkg>-rsync: exclude version control files

When using rsync to import package sources (typically with
PKG_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR), it often happens that these external sources
are under version control, and contain directories like .git,
.hg, etc.

Depending on the project, these directories can become pretty large
and typically have a lot of files. Moreover, they are not necessary
in the context of building the package. Therefore, this commit adds
the --cvs-exclude option to the rsync call, saving both disk space
and sync time.
