# This is a simple script that we use to check for files in git
# and not in the distribution. It was previously written in shell
# and inlined in the Makefile.am, but 'git ls-files --exclude=<pattern>'
# was changed to no longer do anything useful, which made that
# too challenging to be worthwhile.
