From the discussion on #522, this adds an option to not use the VCS to get the list of files to include in the sdist. So
flit build --no-use-vcs
is equivalent topython -m build
with flit_core as a backend. The idea is that in a future version (4.0?), this will become the default, and you will need to use--use-vcs
to explicitly choose the sdist-files-from-vcs behaviour.I've also tried to improve the documentation about what gets included in the sdist by default.
