unexpected items in sdist

[cjw296]

I created this distribution from this commit. and have found it contains some expected content:

$ tar -tzf dist/paradigms-0.0.0.dev0.tar.gz 
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.python-version
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/uv.lock
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/.gitignore
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/encodings.xml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/misc.xml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/modules.xml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/paradigms.iml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/vcs.xml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/workspace.xml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/inspectionProfiles/Project_Default.xml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.idea/inspectionProfiles/profiles_settings.xml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/src/paradigms/__init__.py
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/src/paradigms/py.typed
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.gitignore
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/.hgignore
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/README.md
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/pyproject.toml
paradigms-0.0.0.dev0/PKG-INFO

Where would that .hgignore have come from? I don't have such a file in the project, if I did it would have from uv init --lib, but I don't think that lays down such a file?

The .idea directory shouldn't be there, I have it excluded from git in a user-wide .gitignore:

$ cat ~/.gitignore 
.#*
.DS_Store
*.pyc
*.tgz
*.tar.gz
.idea
/.Python
/bin
/include
/lib

Why is it being included?

[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

I don't think it's a UV issue; I think it's a hatchling problem.

By default, Hatch will respect the first .gitignore or .hgignore file found in your project's root directory or parent directories.

Thanks! Is that likely to be the source of the mysterious .hgignore too? I've never used mercurial on the above machine, so pretty mystified!

I think so? We don't have any references to .hgignore in our codebase, so it doesn't seem like uv would do that.
