+       (generate_makefile): Adjust.
+       * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
+       sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard

 +      * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
 +      it, rather than removing already present files.  Run the aclocal

 +      `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.

 +      `--version' take precedence on the other options.

 +      `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
 +      line wins.
 +      * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
 +
 +2010-09-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

 +
 +      Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
 +      * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
 +      directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
 +      regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
 +      (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
 +      `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
 +      directories.

 +      the version control system used.

 +      * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard

 +      lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
 +      m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted.  Even when using
 +      savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
 +      the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
 +      keeping around.
 +
 +2010-09-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +

 +2010-09-14  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

 +      stricter.
 +      Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or

 +
 +2010-09-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +      Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
 +      The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
 +      target system for Automake.  So it's pointless to put it in
 +      $required.
 +      * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
 +      * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
 +      * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
 +      From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
 +
 +      Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
 +      * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
 +      instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
 +      * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
 +      white spaces.  Do not create usless dummy source file `foo.c'
 +      and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
 +      (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
 +      * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
 +      * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
 +      * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister
 +      of `confh7.test'.
 +      * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
 +      Prompted by a report from Ralf Wildenhues.
 +
 +      Remove useless whitespace padding in XFAIL_TESTS definition.
 +      * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove whitespace padding.
