Description of the Change

When you don't have a BUILD_DIR and a .distignore file, any changes inside the git directory will be ignored when committing to SVN.

This is because we use git archive HEAD which builds the archive from the git index, not the directory tree.

A workaround is to manually commit the files in the build step, see GlotPress/GlotPress#1655

Equally well, we can just commit any file changes inside the deploy script since the git changes are only local.

How to test the Change

1. A Github repository without a .distignore file.
2. A build script that adds or modifies files in the git repo (e.g. minfies files).
3. A Github actions script, this is from the README:

...
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - name: Build # Remove or modify this step as needed
      run: |
        npm install
        npm run build
    - name: WordPress Plugin Deploy
      uses: 10up/action-wordpress-plugin-deploy@stable
      env:
        SVN_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.SVN_PASSWORD }}
        SVN_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.SVN_USERNAME }}

→ The built or modified files should be included in the svn release.
