Title: vsn.git files are required for all deps when removing .git directories

1.1 RC1 had an issue when trying to build from the release tarball. Rebar checks for .git directories, and when those are not found it looks for vsn.git files instead to find the tag.

This file was deleted prior to 1.1 because all tags were collected into a single file. Now both the single file and each dependency file is created.
