Currently, in the autogen.sh script we check whether .git is an existing
directory in which case bootstrap is run. However, if libvirt is a
submodule, then the .git is just a file (with reference to the topmost
.git directory). However, our submodule routines work well. So there's
no real reason why we should prohibit users to build libvirt from
submodule.
# like to run 'git clean -x -f po' to fix it; but only ./bootstrap regenerates
# the required file po/Makevars.
# Only run bootstrap from a git checkout, never from a tarball.
