Libreboot removes all of the blobs from coreboot. In doing so, a diff
showing those deletions (therefore, containing the blobs) is shown.
The git history in coreboot also shows blobs that have been added or
deleted, over time.

By not deleting the .git directory, libreboot would be distributing
blobs. That's why it's deleted.

However, your comment is valid; I should patch the build system in
coreboot so that it shows libreboot-<insert revision here> in the
coreboot-libre boot logs (as seen from serial output, EHCI debug
output or cbmem -c). I've added a note for myself, reminding me to do
this.
