Normal documentation is in %doc of your spec. Not in %files. So add it to the %doc line or rm the file in %prep. Depends on what's in this INSTALL file.

If you remove the file from the %files section, then you also need to remove it from the installed files in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT. You can do this with a simple
rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_docdir}/invulgotracker/INSTALL
BTW: The docs should be versioned (invulgotracker-0.53), but you already do this in the spec that is linked in your review. The rest is explained in the private mails I just sent you before seeing this one.

It's just the generic install notes we usually don't ship.
