Comment:

 Attached a patch to revive this ticket. This patch has been tested with
 the following steps.

 1. generate a tarball with `make dist`
 2. verify micro-revision.i is not in the tarball
 3. extract the tarball
 4. and finally, execute ./configure and `make check` in the extracted
 directory.

 I looked at all of the make rules and could not find any other rules that
 generate files that are also included in the tarball. It seems micro-
 revision.i was the only one.
