FWIW, it's very common to not distribute any ".git*" files that are
committed, since they're all meta. Typical examples are .gitignore
and .gitattributes files.
In our main repository, for example, there is a .gitattributes file
that specifies these files as things to not distribute:
.git* export-ignore
/.mailmap export-ignore
It might not be too hard to DTRT and use the same specifications if
there is a git executable to use. (If the code already depends on a
git executable and if you can easily plug such a command in, then I
can look up a command line to list files to be distributed that
ignores these things.)
