Yes it is on purpose. The “-devel” tarball is for those who want to contribute to the development of Gambit. If you don’t want the git history, just get the normal tarball (without the “-devel”).

The lib/makefile.in later detects the presence of .git and uses the git binary, adding one dependency to the build, in addition to making the tarball bigger.
