That's very strange to me.  Are you working on a private branch and
rebasing/merging/cherry-picking from 'master'?

As far as I know, groff 1.22.4 never reached a commit count of over
three thousand before a subsequent tag was generated on master.

I work directly off of master most of the time[1].  Here's the .version
file from my working tree.

$ cat .version
1.23.0.rc1.1465-2b3e0

As I understand it, that file is only created by the "dist" make(1)
target.

That's what I have as well (it's signed, too).

You might consider cloning a fresh copy of the repository in some other
directory and see what you get there.
