Looks like you'll be doing some opensync hacking then. :-)

Yep, they are being added, slowly but surely.

The only way a build/ directory should show up in the sources/opensync
tree is if you did a 'make src' earlier.  I'm not sure why git
would have failed there.

But you can clean your tree with a 'make clean' as well.  This uses
'git clean -xdf' in each submodule, and 'git clean -xdff' in the root,
to do the cleaning.   So changes you make to files that git
knows about will stay... but files that git does _not_ know about will
be lost, so use caution.  You may want to play around with it to see
what it does. :-)

Just remember that there are basically 3 different modes:

	src - just builds the code and installs it inside the tree

	debian packages - deb files show up under debian/

	rpm packages - rpm files show up under ~/rpmbuild/RPMS

The RPM support is lagging behind the debian support at the moment.
