According to Ralf Wildenhues on 3/9/2008 7:49 AM:
| We expect to be switching toward git as primary hosting for the Libtool
| code sometime soon, but probably not before 2.2.2.  We encourage you to
| try out the git repo, report any issues, conversion bugs, suggestions.

For starters, you can't bootstrap the git repo.  Note these lines in
configure:

TIMESTAMP=`${CONFIG_SHELL} ${ac_aux_dir}/mkstamp < ${srcdir}/ChangeLog`
package_revision=`( set $TIMESTAMP; echo $1; )`

TIMESTAMP depends on libltdl/config/mkstamp parsing ChangeLog and
producing non-empty output.  But without CVS $Id:$ expansion, there is no
output, and set proceeds to display the entire environment into
package_revision rather than setting the positional parameters.  This in
turn leads to a corrupt Makefile.

We need to patch mkstamp to guarantee non-empty output, even when not used
on a CVS checkout (or change the TIMESTAMP computation to deal with empty
output from mkstamp).

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
