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; )`

In GraphicsMagick I do it like this:

TIMESTAMP=`awk '/^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]/ { print substr($1,1,4) substr($1,6,2) substr($1,9,2); exit; }' ${srcdir}/ChangeLog`

Since we should always update ChangeLog, it makes sense to use the last date entered in ChangeLog.
