I tried this series.  I built my tree with this in .config
  CONFIG_QEMU=/u/iwj/work/1/qemu-iwj.git
  QEMU_UPSTREAM_URL=/u/iwj/work/1/qemu-upstream-unstable.git

I then found that the directory qemu-upstream-unstable.git contained a
symlink qemu-upstream-unstable.git linking to the directory (by full
pathname).  It also had "linux-headers/asm" which wasn't covered by
.gitignore.

The xen-unstable-tools.hg tree I built it in also ended up with an
awful lot of
 ? tools/firmware/seabios-dir-remote/*


Can you please test:

 * That setting CONFIG_QEMU and QEMU_UPSTREAM_URL and
   SEABIOS_UPSTREAM_URL (work whether they are set to URLs or
   directories)
 * That after building the dists/ tree looks as you would expect
   (compare it with a dists/ tree from before your series)
 * That setting {QEMU_UPSTREAM,SEABIOS_UPSTREAM,QEMU}_TAG still works
   afterwards.
 * That "make clean" cleans up everything that "make" creates except
   for things which you deliberately decide it shouldn't
 * That everything that "make" creates is mentioned in the
   appropriate ignore files
 * That a 2nd "make" doesn't do a lot of needless work
 * That machinery is provided for pulling included trees eg
   analagous to
     make tools/ioemu-dir-force-update


Ian.
