This would allow for placing extra files such as README.md or Makefile into the root directory and other project related data which shouldn't go into the package, but may be useful, in other directories. As a side effect one can also screw up the git master branch without breaking the devel repository.

Just a FYI: Using .Rbuildignore you can still add Makefile and other
files to the repository that won't go into the package
build/install/check/distro/....  This works regardless of Subversion
of Git.
