Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:
 > For micro-revision.i, the system is not able to rebuild it when it's
 building from a tarball.  Its purpose is to say which git version the
 tarball was made from.
 FWICT the micro-revision.i make rule first tries to see if the directory
 is a git repository. If it's not, it does nothing. It then checks if
 micro-revision.i exists and if it doesn't it rebuilds it with an empty
 string.
