Description

When browsing through https://inspector.pypi.io/project/setuptools/73.0.1, I noticed that the sdist contains .tox/release/lib/... files that in my opinion should not be there:

https://inspector.pypi.io/project/setuptools/73.0.1/packages/8d/37/f4d4ce9bc15e61edba3179f9b0f763fc6d439474d28511b11f0d95bab7a2/setuptools-73.0.1.tar.gz/

Expected behavior

.tox/... files should not be added to the sdist

How to Reproduce

# docker run --rm -it python:3.11-bookworm /bin/bash
pip install tox
git clone https://github.com/pypa/setuptools /tmp/setuptools
cd /tmp/setuptools
rm -rf .tox
tox devenv -e release .tox/release
.tox/release/bin/python -m build
tar tf dist/setuptools*.tar.gz | grep tox

Output

# tar tf dist/setuptools*.tar.gz | grep tox
