Finally, I've removed the dir file from git, as recommended by Stefan
Monnier. It is generated automatically when creating a package release.

If you need it it locally in git, Makefile is your friend. Call 'make doc'.

Closing the bug.

The last commit changed the $direntry name of the manuals, but the
tracked dir file was not updated.  Because that file is being tracked,
running install-info results in uncommitted changes.

I recommend you remove this file; I believe it is not commonly tracked.

Alternatively regenerate it and check in the changes.  I would have done
that myself, but this resulted in more changes than what one would
expect from looking just at 69f4dc14e8cbffbada422fe4e2d5640692a63425.
It appears it makes a difference what version of install-info is used --
another reason not to check in this file.

    Cheers,
    Jonas
