 Replying to [comment:4 legind]:
 > This was committed erroneously during the release process.  I've removed
 it in a subsequent commit, and it will not be present in future release
 tags.  Your solution works fine, boklm, or just adding the `rm checkout`
 command after cloning would work as well.  Sorry for the hiccup.

 Thanks for the update (it saves me filing a ticket). I went ahead with
 boklm's solution and applied it to `maint-7.5` (commit
 b3cc97d4e4adb4709c1e367d82bd1e389bba60f0). We probably want it for
 `master`, too. I'll look at that tomorrow.
