Without commenting on the tidy bug, this is what I do to avoid
.cfsaved crontab files:

control:
 any::
  Repository    = ( /etc/cfengine/repository )

directories:
 any::
 /etc/cfengine/repository

Unfortunately this will apply to all backups and edits - if you are OK
with that, you should be fine.

Hope that helps
