Hello (again),
On FreeBSD 10, "make dist" does not detect git changes.
(This is perhaps not a direct "GNU-Hello" bug, but it's the easiest to
reproduce with it).
On FreeBSD 10:
$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/hello.git
$ cd hello
# (skip-po because default FreeBSD doesn't have wget+rsync, required for PO)
$ ./bootstrap --skip-po
# "out-of-the-box" version, "dirty" because bootstrapping GNULIB changed
".gitignore"
$ ./build-aux/git-version-gen .foo
2.9.31-fa3c-dirty
$ git status -s
M .gitignore
# Build this version, as-is
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make dist
$ ls hello-*.tar.gz
hello-2.9.31-fa3c-dirty.tar.gz
# Change a file, commit new version
$ echo "hello world" >> README
$ git status -s
M .gitignore
M README
$ git commit -a -m "dummy ci"
[master 67fe777] dummy ci
2 files changed, 4 insertions(+)
# This is the new version string
$ ./build-aux/git-version-gen .foo
2.9.32-67fe
# running 'make dist' does not detect the git change.
# On Linux, it would detect it and run "autoreconf".
$ make dist
make dist-gzip am__post_remove_distdir='@:'
if test -d "hello-2.9.31-fa3c-dirty"; then find "hello-2.9.31-fa3c-dirty"
-t
