+setuptools_git (Setuptools revision control system plugin for Git)
+
+This is a plugin for setuptools that enables Git integration. Once
+installed, setuptools can be told to include in a module
+distribution all the files tracked by git. This is an alternative
+to explicit inclusion specifications with MANIFEST.in.
+
+This package was formerly known as gitlsfiles. The name change is
+the result of an effort by the setuptools plugin developers to
+provide a uniform naming convention.
+
+This requires pysetuptools.
