It's working for me:

...
/bin/tar chf postgresql-9.4devel.tar postgresql-9.4devel
gzip --best -c postgresql-9.4devel.tar >postgresql-9.4devel.tar.gz
bzip2 -c postgresql-9.4devel.tar >postgresql-9.4devel.tar.bz2
rm -rf postgresql-9.4devel

It looks like your source directory isn't completely clean. Before I did
this I did:

git clean -dfx
