Remove .icloud files #59

Closed mjmare closed 5 years ago

Current Behavior

When I have installed docx-mailmerge into a virtualenv that is situated in my Dropbox I get warnings from Dropbox that .icloud files were found. Apparently that may cause problems and Dropbox prompts to get rid of these files.

The files concerned are: …/venv3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/docx_mailmerge-0.4.0.dist-info/.pbr.json.icloud …/venv3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/docx_mailmerge-0.4.0.dist-info/.SOURCES.txt.icloud

I do not see this with other packages.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Create virtualenv on Dropbox Install docx-mailmerge Wait for email from Dropbox (in about a day)

The mail from Dropbox:

Doesn't happen with 0.5.0. I store my development folder on iCloud, and as a result iCloud will sometimes create those placeholder files (.iCloud). I'm not sure what I can do to prevent this, other than changing my workflow.
