I don't see how that would work. Reasonably, the VCS is a fallback of
nothing is declared in setup.py. I don't see why you should be forced
to explicitly declare every file in the setup.py, a sensible default
is not a problem.

Not really. There is one way to specify which files are included. If
it is not specified, distutils would make the reasonable assumption
that all versioned files should be included.
