Having said that, I also think that "make clean" target should help
your desire to keep tarballs that would not have been generated by
the current checkout (e.g. the last release), and I do not think

	$(RM) git-htmldocs-*.tar.gz git-manpages-*.tar.gz

is an unconditionally better alternative to what you did in this
step.

How about moving removal of these "distribution" artifacts that are
created by "make dist$something" targets from "clean" to "distclean"?
