so that's what we have here. The docstring is adapted from the
cbd4f603 (egg_info: Search egg-base for files to add to the manifest,
2014-10-16) commit message.

It's a lot of docs for a single command (although there is a newsted
list comprehension), so I'm fine if you drop this commit before
merging. The motivation behind the lines would still be available in
the version control history:

  $ hg blame -c setuptools/command/egg_info.py | grep -A1 ei_cmd.egg_base
  cbd4f6038604: if ei_cmd.egg_base != os.curdir:
  cbd4f6038604: self.filelist.allfiles.extend([
  cbd4f6038604: os.path.join(ei_cmd.egg_base, path)
  cbd4f6038604: for path in distutils.filelist.findall(ei_cmd.egg_base)])
  80108b046cb6: self.filelist.include_pattern("*", prefix=ei_cmd.egg_info)
  $ hg log -vr cbd4f6038604
