Actually thinking about this in more detail, git_version.py should not
be deleted by "make clean", or "make distclean", but by "make
maintainer-clean" as it needs to be in the distribution. Adding this
to MAINTAINERCLEANFILES results in the same error.

How can I tell distcheck that this file should remain in the tree
after a distclean?
