Title:
  dtc/.git file included in release tarball

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The release tarballs include the dtc/.git submodule file, causing when
  working git in some circumstances (e.g. doing git clean -fxd in a
  parent git repository):

  $ mkdir foo && cd foo
  $ git init
  $ echo yo >bar
  $ curl http://wiki.qemu-project.org/download/qemu-1.6.0.tar.bz2
  $ tar xjf qemu-1.6.0.tar.bz2
  $ git clean -fxd
  Removing bar
  Removing qemu-1.6.0.tar.bz2
  Removing qemu-1.6.0/
  fatal: Not a git repository: qemu-1.6.0/pixman/../.git/modules/pixman

  Leaving the qemu-1.6.0 directory intact.

  So, my suggestion is, would it be possible to filter out the .git file
  from the release tarball when building a release? Thanks.
