+       git-version-gen: use (...) rather than sh -c '...'
+       * build-aux/git-version-gen: Rather than hard-coding a shell's name

+       git-version-gen: convert leading TABs to spaces
+       * build-aux/git-version-gen: Expand leading TABs.
+
+       git-version-gen: handle failed "git rev-list"
+       * build-aux/git-version-gen: Rather than leaking a "fatal" error
+       from git and proceeding as if it had succeeded but printed no SHA1
+       checksums, suppress the diagnostic and handle the failure.

        was missing or unreadable, you might see the diagnostic from "cat",
