Pinging @elastic/kibana-operations (Team:Operations)

@watson, pinging you since you added this to Kibana and have insights into the APM client. What is necessary in preventing this git check in the distribution?

[watson]

Sorry about this. This was fixed in master and the 7.x branches via #52878 and #52890 5 days ago.
