You have to have a really strong reason for making a tarball that is
not
a superset of a git checkout, as it gets very hard to prove that the
tarball is then sufficient to create a fork (and the fact remains that
the GPL requires anyone getting a libvirt binary be afforded the chance
to fork from the same sources used to build that binary).
I hadn't thought about the potential legal consequences:
let's just stay on the safe side and leave the file in.
