Hi,

Using the gitdb-0.6.4.tar.gz and then:

tar -xvf gitdb-0.6.4.tar.gz
cd gitdb-0.6.4
python setup.py bdist_rpm

The last command failed:

RPM build errors:
File not found: /xxx/gitdb-0.6.4/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/BUILDROOT/gitdb-0.6.4-1.x86_64/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gitdb/_perf.so
error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

Same command from a git clone works.
The problem is that MANIFEST.in is not included in source distribution.
To correct it, please include MANIFEST.in in MANIFEST.in file.

Regards.

Here is my patch:
