At GNU findutils, we're trying to use gnulib's git-version-gen [1]
to derive the version string from the current git commit.
Until now, we've been using a 3-level versioning scheme X.Y.Z, e.g. the
latest tag was 'v4.6.0'. Now for any non-release commit version
before the next release, 'git-version-gen' determines a version
like e.g. '4.6.0.149-2f6a' for the 149th commit past the v4.6.0 tag;
but the automake gnits check complains:
...

--force -I gl/m4 --no-recursive
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: running: true --force

Makefile.am: installing './INSTALL'
configure.ac:25: error: version '4.6.0.149-2f6a' doesn't follow Gnits
standards
So my question: aren't 3-level version strings allowed by the gnits check
in combination with gnulib's git-version-gen script? Do we have to change
the strictness from gnits to gnu?
