I just tried it again it didn't reproduce - all files were there. I
don't have the original tarball that caused me to open this bug, as I
just moved to git clone and continued with that.
Appologies and please close this bug.

Title:
Cannot build qemu-5.0.0 from tarball
Status in QEMU:
Invalid
Bug description:
Cannot build qemu 5.0.0 from the release tarball. Building from git-
clone succeeds.
After downloading and unpacking the 5.0.0 tarball, I typed the
following:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
Then got the following error message:
ERROR: missing file /home/uri/qemu-5.0.0/ui/keycodemapdb/README
This is not a GIT checkout but module content appears to
be missing. Do not use 'git archive' or GitHub download links
to acquire QEMU source archives. Non-GIT builds are only
supported with source archives linked from:
https://www.qemu.org/download/#source
Developers working with GIT can use scripts/archive-source.sh
if they need to create valid source archives.
It appears the ui/keycodemapdb is missing some files that are obtained
from a git submodule in a git tree.
Building from a git clone succeeds.
