# This script is derived from GIT-VERSION-GEN from GIT: http://git.or.cz/.
# It may be run two ways:
# - from a git repository in which the "git describe" command below
#   produces useful output (thus requiring at least one signed tag)
# - from a non-git-repo directory containing a .tarball-version file, which
#   presumes this script is invoked like "./git-version-gen .tarball-version".

# In order to use intra-version strings in your project, you will need two
# separate generated version string files:
#
# .tarball-version - present only in a distribution tarball, and not in
#   a checked-out repository.  Created with contents that were learned at
#   the last time autoconf was run, and used by git-version-gen.  Must not
#   be present in either $(srcdir) or $(builddir) for git-version-gen to
#   give accurate answers during normal development with a checked out tree,
#   but must be present in a tarball when there is no version control system.
#   Therefore, it cannot be used in any dependencies.  GNUmakefile has
#   hooks to force a reconfigure at distribution time to get the value
#   correct, without penalizing normal development with extra reconfigures.
#
# .version - present in a checked-out repository and in a distribution
#   tarball.  Usable in dependencies, particularly for files that don't
#   want to depend on config.h but do want to track version changes.
#   Delete this file prior to any autoconf run where you want to rebuild
#   files to pick up a version string change; and leave it stale to
#   minimize rebuild time after unrelated changes to configure sources.
#
# It is probably wise to add these two files to .gitignore, so that you
# don't accidentally commit either generated file.
#
# Use the following line in your configure.ac, so that $(VERSION) will
# automatically be up-to-date each time configure is run (and note that
# since configure.ac no longer includes a version string, Makefile rules
# should not depend on configure.ac for version updates).
#
# AC_INIT([GNU project],
#         m4_esyscmd([build-aux/git-version-gen .tarball-version]),
#         [bug-project@example])
#
# Then use the following lines in your Makefile.am, so that .version
# will be present for dependencies, and so that .tarball-version will
# exist in distribution tarballs.
#
# BUILT_SOURCES = $(top_srcdir)/.version
# $(top_srcdir)/.version:
#	echo $(VERSION) > $@-t && mv $@-t $@
# dist-hook:
#	echo $(VERSION) > $(distdir)/.tarball-version
