The README.git file is not generated. It is a file that is not
distributed in the tarball and used by the bootstrap script to check if
you are compiling from the checkouted sources, not from a tarball. If
you invoke bootstrap without this file present in the source tree, it
will complain that "Bootstrapping from a non-checked-out distribution is
risky".

I've started to add some information on automake in INSTALL.REPO, I can
write more details and tips for persons that were familiar with the
hand-written Makefile.in.
