Packaging hidden files

[John Doxey]

Hi,
Is there a way I can include hidden files/folders (those starting with a
dot) in a packaged zip file?

I am trying to include a git repository in my zipped distribution.  In my
"distribution" project I tried,

define "distribution" do
  package(:zip).include _(features/.git), path => "project"
end

The ".git" directory gets included in the zip, but not it's contents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers,
John.

Sorry, brain fart, this does actually work (just wasn't how I was expecting
to see it :P )
