Yes, please make the interaction between GNUmakefile and git-version-gen more robust. Either by letting git-version-gen do something sensible when the file is absent. Or by changing GNUmakefile to avoid calling git-version-gen when the file is absent. Or any other way; you know these modules better than me. Bruno
