[PATCH] Include git-gui credits file in dist.

The Makefile for the git-gui subproject will fail to execute if run outside of a git.git directory, such as when building from a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2. This is because it is looking for the credits file, which was created but omitted from the tarball by the toplevel Makefile.

---
 This has to go on `maint` before you create the release tarball
 for 1.5.0.2, otherwise 1.5.0.2 cannot be compiled outside of a
 git.git repository.
