Dear developers,

we develop our packages via r-forge and svn. Under R version 2.8.0 Under 
development (unstable) (2008-06-02 r45826) I now observe the following 
warning for our package "distrEx"

* checking for executable files ... WARNING
Found the following executable file(s):
  src/.svn/text-base/distrEx.dll.svn-base
Source packages should not contain undeclared executable files.
See section 'Package structure' in manual 'Writing R Extensions'.

Hence, R CMD check also checks the .svn-folder. I don't mind to get this 
warning. I just would like to know if this is intended and if this might 
have an influence on package building. (This warning doesn't occur under 
R version 2.7.0 Patched (2008-06-03 r45828))

My session info is:
R version 2.8.0 Under development (unstable) (2008-06-02 r45826)
