The setup.py uses the command:  git ls-filesto get the list of files that you 
have.
If you not are in git, it uses the old system (check for all foldersand get the 
files).
One solution: create an .sh that copy your folder to another place andremove 
the .git and .gitignore file, do and: python setup.py build (to buildthe locale 
folder) and after, use the dist_xo or use a zip to make the XO.

PD: which version of sugar or "sugar-emulator" you have?
