Is this intended? If you're building on the current tip of 'master' (at the time of writing: 9c32cfb49c (Sync with v2.38.1, 2022-10-17)), then yes. In d5b41391a4 (Git 2.38.1, 2022-10-05), the contents of GIT-VERSION-GEN contained "DEF_VER=v2.38.1", but it was reset in 9c32cfb49c to "v2.38.GIT" to indicate that we are in a development cycle. You can see where Junio resolved the merge conflict more clearly with: $ git show --remerge-diff 9c32cfb49c60fa8173b9666db02efe3b45a8522f Thanks, Taylor
