New description:
When configuring parrot, the value for "git-describe" is taken from the
cache file if it is present.
Here's a not-uncommon workflow that breaks in this case:
* realclean
* build
* git pull
* configure # XXX This does not update the sha1-describe.
* build
Unless there's a super compelling reason to cache this file, the value
shouldn't even be stored on disk - it should go into the config hash and
be calculated every time you run configure.
(similar arguments may cover other newly generated .parrot files.)
