Hi there!
I've been examining some Netfilter snapshots, for example the nftables
one (pick whichever revision) [0].
They seem to include some autogenerated files, like 'configure', the
'autom4te.cache' dir, etc..
Why snapshots are not just a copy of the git sources?
Best regards.

This snapshot robot calls autoreconf -f to include all the scripts so
you can run ./configure as most users expect, that also generates the
autom4te.cache.
I can update the script to remove the autom4te.cache, let me know.
