We learned via libvirt that when people use "git pull" to pull in a new snapshot of gnulib, it's important to make the usual autogen.sh script detect that and automatically take the unusual step of re-running the relatively expensive bootstrap script.
Isn't this a similar situation to someone who does 'git clone' and then runs autogen (without running bootstrap)? I can't see why it wouldn't work now, because 'git submodule status' should produce a different result if the submodule does not exist. Or maybe I'm not understanding how that works.
