# Usage. Below is what you would add to Makefile.am. When it runs, the
# following two files are generated: 'gitversion-stamp' and 'gitversion.h'.

# gitversion-stamp stores the most recently used git description.
# gitversion.h is a C header file containing that git description as a string.

# Put this script in the top level source folder and make sure it has execute permission.

# These are the lines (remove the leading '#' on each) to add to the Makefile.am file:
# ## Check if the git version information has changed and rebuild gitversion.h if so.
# .PHONY: gitversion-check
# gitversion-check: 
# 	$(top_srcdir)/check-gitversion

# ## You may have to change from += to = below:
# BUILT_SOURCES += gitversion-check
# CLEANFILES += gitversion-stamp gitversion.h
