1976,manifest-related files still reference Subversion,jkeenan,whiteknight,"Much of the stock language in ''lib/Parrot/Manifest.pm'' still makes reference to Subversion.  As a result, many of the comments in files like ''MANIFEST'' and ''MANIFEST.SKIP'' are misleading.

This needs to be fixed.

But let me add a question:  If I need to add files to the list of those ignored by git, am I supposed to edit ''.gitignore'' directly -- notwithstanding the fact that it (like the MANIFESTs) is supposed to be read-only:
{{{
$ head -1 MANIFEST MANIFEST.SKIP .gitignore 
==> MANIFEST <==
# ex: set ro:

==> MANIFEST.SKIP <==
# ex: set ro:

==> .gitignore <==
# ex: set ro:
