If there is an unsubmitted change to a controlled file, the
tests/misc/help-version.sh test fails because the environment variable VERSION
holds a different value to that indicated in the output of find --version.

I'm about to submit a change which makes the error message more explicit about
what is different, but the change doesn't fix the test failure.

If the tree only has checked-in changes, there is no failure.  If only "make
check" is run, I think also there is no failure.

The test fails with our without my patch, the patch just puts additional
details into the failure message:

help-version.sh: failed test: --version-$VERSION mismatch (4.9.0.74-1f052
(being the output from find --version) should match the environment variable
VERSION, which has the value 4.9.0.73-3213-dirty)

Bernhard, I believe you introduced this test.  What is the expected behaviour
(value, if you like)  of the VERSION environment variable here?
