From ca3de82a181dfb3b6627e4a3a7abcdbe24904b56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:48:53 +0100
Subject: Ensure that each version string change propagates to man pages.

* man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Don't depend on configure.ac for
version changes.  Instead, depend on ../VERSION.
(../VERSION): New rule.
* Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Define.
* GNUmakefile: Update ./VERSION.
* .gitignore: List VERSION.
