Typically it makes sense to only include Makefile.am files in VCS (e.g. 
git) as that source is targeted developers who can be expected to have 
adequate versions of autotools installed and able to use them properly, 
and include Makefile.in files as well with release tarball (and source 
rpm files, I assume) as that is targeted "consumers" (e.g. distributors 
and hardcore users) who can only be expected to have a more limited 
development environment and possible largely varying versions of tools.
