They had been added in the process of moving to the build against
pristine upstream. Didn't check svn-buildpackage before committing the
merge though as it seems (I thought I had).

I will do so on next tuesday. Don't have either time nor necessary
access to do it before that. If anyone else wants to do it, here is how:

svn rm <file1> <file2> <file3>

For each directory "X" containing at least one of the files:

svn propedit svn:ignore "X"

which opens an editor. List all files in that directory in there (one
per line).

You could alternatively create a file "A" for each such directory,
listing each file in that directory and then do:

svn propset svn:ignore -F "A" "X"

As said: If nobody else does it, I will do it on Tuesday.
