Hi Jim and Eric,
Thanks for your explanations how 'bootstrap' is to be used with git. But
I still don't find the current state reasonable, because:

Here's a much easier way to reproduce the problem,

Can you please tell me how to reproduce?

Oh well, I already pushed with the semicolon. At least this way,
all of the timestamped scripts in build-aux have the same formatting,
regardless of sh vs. pe

git 1.6.4 learned 'git submodule add --reference dir' as a means to make
initializing git submodules use (MUCH) less bandwidth and disk space by
