dist zilla cannot release because of untracked git changes

I'm using Dist::Zilla to release my module, however it is not working. I'm using the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git plugin and whenever I do dzil release, it won't let me release my module because it says that I have untracked changes. However, the untracked changes are the new files that Dist::Zilla has created for the release! Here is my config file:

name    = My::Module
author  = Name
license = Perl_5
copyright_holder = Name
copyright_year   = 2014

version = 0.001

[NextRelease]
[@Git]

[@Basic]
[PodWeaver]

[TestRelease]
[ConfirmRelease]
[UploadToCPAN]

[AutoPrereqs]

Is something in the wrong order here? Or am I supposed to actually commit the created files for release? Because I thought they were supposed to be temporary. Here is the output that I get:

[@Git/Check] branch master has some untracked files:
[@Git/Check]    My-Module-0.001.tar.gz

Solution

Your repo should include a .gitignore similar to the one presented in Dist-Milla in order to ignore the content of the release folder.

/My-Module-*
/.build
!META.json
