Considering below case: git clone kexec-tools; bootstrap and build, the version and date is the current git version and current date after some time, git pull, upstream bumps to new version run make again, build/sbin/kexec --version will still show the old date along with new version I know one can say we should make distclean and run bootstrap again, but it really worth?
