It appears that GIT based libraries are now being forced to 'working-copy=1', which didn't used to be the case.

An example of this in action is the DrupalAPI distribution, 1.1 and 1.3 use almost identical makefiles, yet 1.3 which was released and built yesterday is 170mb larger than 1.1. Why? Because the .git directory is left for the GIT based libraries which drastically bloats the distribution.

At first I though it was the Drupal.org packaging system at fault, but I am able to reproduce this issue locally as well...

Is this an intentional change, or is this a bug?
If it is intentional, is there a way to stop it from happening, as a 200mb distro that really should only be about 5-10mb is not so appealing.
