[issue8688] distutils sdist is too laze w.r.t. recalculating MANIFEST

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

I agree with msg113530 and msg112371 that the current behavior is a bug: distutils is now too agressive because it recalculates the MANIFEST file even when distutils isn't the one that calculated it in the first place.

This is a functional regression w.r.t. earlier python releases.
