update_version

#!/bin/bash

# Creates and updates the package_version information used by configure.ac
# (or other makefiles).  When run inside a git repository it will use the
# version information that can be queried from it unless AUTO_UPDATE is set
# to 'no'.  If no version is currently known it will be set to 'unknown'.
#
# If called with the argument 'release', the PACKAGE_VERSION will be updated
# even if AUTO_UPDATE=no, but the value of AUTO_UPDATE shall be preserved.
# This is used to force a version update whenever `make dist` is run.
#
# The exit status is 1 if package_version is not modified, else 0 is returned.
#
# This script should NOT be included in distributed tarballs, because if a
# parent directory contains a git repository we do not want to accidentally
# retrieve the version information from it instead.  Tarballs should ship
# with only the package_version file.
