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. Regards, -- Bertrand Garrigues
