Subject: Make inter-release --version output more useful.
X-Git-Tag: v6.9.89~159
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bfe49f506f3385329d37baf4e242529049cfc887;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fcoreutils.git

Make inter-release --version output more useful.

Now, each snapshot has a version "number" like 6.9-219-g58ddd,
which indicates that it is built using the 219th change set
(in _some_ repository) following the "v6.9" tag, and that 58ddd
is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.
* configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only
in distribution tarballs, never in a checked-out repository.
* .gitignore: Add .version here, too.  Just in case.

 	Ensure that TMPDIR is valid.  Otherwise, it would cause test failures.
 	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Set TMPDIR=.
 	* tests/misc/sort-compress: Likewise.
