Re: planning for beta-testing gnulib-tool.py

[Simon Josefsson]

I like the plan to replace gnulib-tool with a faster implementation, and
a two-year migration phase sounds reasonable to see if it will work in
practice.

Trying gnulib-tool.py on OATH Toolkit (which use a somewhat unorthodox
gnulib usage style by adding code into git) results in error below.  I
thought it was a missing mkdir at some point, but I couldn't find a
solution... ideas?

git clone https://gitlab.com/oath-toolkit/oath-toolkit.git
cd oath-toolkit
echo $GNULIB_REFDIR
/home/jas/src/gnulib  # 3088ee223bb986ad51d7c71ca64aaf4b600bc06c
