Please add commit messages following the GNU ChangeLog style to your

How do I do that?  This was in large part an exercise to clean up my development and contribution practice. 

I'm surprised that this does not require adding Autoconf etc as
native-inputs, do you know why that is?

I think I let my environment leak, I'll check into in.

Also, won't this cause a circular dependency on 'git-minimal'?  If it
works for you I guess we got lucky in this case.

I'm not sure.  I'll test more in a little bit. 

AIUI the lack of tarball integration in Software Heritage is temporary,
i.e. it will eventually be sorted, and of course back-dated.  So I don't
think we need to move everything to git while we wait for that.

When I looked into it, there appears to have been no progress in a year and a half.
