If your project contains files that you don't wish to distribute to
users (e.g.@: regression tests), you can add them to an
@file{.elpaignore} file. In this file, each line lists a file or
wildcard matching files to ignore when producing your package's tar
file on ELPA. (ELPA will pass this file to @command{tar} with the
@code{-X} option.)
