No such file or directory: ‘README.md’

This happens with python 2.7.3 on linux 3.2.0:

$ sudo pip install gitinit
Downloading/unpacking gitinit
  Running setup.py egg_info for package gitinit
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 16, in <module>

        return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), fname)).read()
    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-build/gitinit/README.md'
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

There was a bug with Manifest and README file wasn't being included. I think I've fixed it. Try now.

I have the same issue with 1.0.4.

$ cd /tmp/pip-build/gitinit
$ ls -l

No README.md…

Is it still failing? I checked my xubuntu system -

Downloading/unpacking gitinit
  Downloading gitinit-1.0.4.tar.gz
  Running setup.py egg_info for package gitinit

Installing collected packages: gitinit
  Running setup.py install for gitinit

    Installing gitinit script to /usr/local/bin
Successfully installed gitinit
Cleaning up...

Oh, I'm sorry — it seems pip noticed the previous /tmp/pip-build/gitinit directory and didn't bother unpacking 1.0.4 on top of that. After I removed the build directory gitinit installed flawlessly. :)

Ah. Great. This is my first package. So things are a bit shaky. :)
