Just a quick heads up; with current seen branch, if you do a 'make clean' before building (as I routinely do), then: $ pwd /home/ramsay/git $ $ git gcs HEAD 19a89823f5 ("Merge branch 'pw/add-patch-with-suppress-blank-empty' into seen", 2024-07-20) $ $ make clean >/dev/null $ $ git status -uno On branch seen Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/seen'. Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) deleted: Documentation/docinfo.html no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") $ $ git describe --dirty v2.46.0-rc1-129-g19a89823f5-dirty $ $ git restore Documentation/docinfo.html $ $ git status -uno On branch seen Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/seen'. nothing to commit (use -u to show untracked files) $ $ git describe --dirty v2.46.0-rc1-129-g19a89823f5 $ This is because commit dbc2de902e ("asciidoctor: fix `synopsis` rendering", 2024-07-20) adds a tracked file (Documentation/docinfo.html) which the clean target deletes (via *.html).
