Are you sure you should be adding Makefile.in to the repository? It is an automatically generated file.


Typically it makes sense to only include Makefile.am files in VCS (e.g. git) as that source is targeted developers who can be expected to have adequate versions of autotools installed and able to use them properly, and include Makefile.in files as well with release tarball (and source rpm files, I assume) as that is targeted "consumers" (e.g. distributors and hardcore users) who can only be expected to have a more limited development environment and possible largely varying versions of tools.
