Description

This project by default includes all files tracked by git into source code package when running `python setup.py sdist`.
This is bit opinionated and can be only mitigated by specifying `MANIFEST.in` file.

Research direction

The issue names setuptools-git, `python setup.py sdist`, and MANIFEST.in. Start by inspecting the packaging configuration and running the stated sdist command to confirm which tracked files are included. The issue does not define a desired replacement behavior, so completion requires maintainer agreement on the packaging policy before implementation can be scoped.
