Well, isn't this ia clear indication of the problem? Make sure that
incluse/asm is _not_ a directory. Make sure to check in only files and
directories that really belong to the source distribution.

Even better, dump your current versioning system, and use git instead
:-)

At least make sure to run "make mrproper" before copying into the
repository.

Sure. In your case include/asm has been incorrectly copied.

In the beginning there was nothing.
And the Lord said "Let There Be Light!"
And still there was nothing, but at least now you could see it.
