mapbox/tilemill — Issue #1209: Emacs auto-save files cause TileMill to re-render

So I'll have a project open in TileMill, and be editing one of the files in Emacs (highway.mss, for example). Emacs periodically stores unsaved changes as #highway.mss#. When that happens, TileMill re-renders my map, even though the only file that changed on disk (#highway.mss#) isn't part of the project.

This gets annoying, because the auto-save & re-render tend to happen while I'm looking at the map. Then I have to wait for my project to re-render (and it's complex, so that takes a while).
