   When the `track-tags` option of the `git` plugin is enabled, it generates a slimmed-down `.git` directory enough for `git describe` and `git log` to succeed.
   
   However gnulib's `git-version-gen` script relies on `git log .` which doesn't work, and returns an error like
   ```
   fatal: unable to read tree 1bdaa2ce628b458ab6a7c9e03023a9aed221cf75
   ```

   Looks like simply writing .tarball-version is enough to convince git-version-gen to do nothing.
