Is it on purpose that the
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.9/source/gambit-v4_9_1-devel.tgz
image contains the .git directory with the entire history?

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.
