+       s/-/./ in snapshot version string: 2.61a-256-8b556 -> 2.61a.256-8b556
+       * build-aux/git-version-gen: This syncs from coreutils.
+
        Adjust the build procedure so "make check" works reliably.
        * README-hacking: Include an extra step between "make" and
        "make check" to ensure that the latter passes.
