[bug#70380] [PATCH v3 2/4] maint: Generate doc/version[-LANG].texi using `mdate-from-git.scm'.

[Janneke Nieuwenhuizen]

This replaces Automake's `build-aux/mdate-sh' with our own
`build-aux/mdate-from-git.scm' to use reproducible timestamps from Git
instead.

* build-aux/mdate-from-git.scm: New script.
* bootstrap: Use it to replace build-aux/mdate-sh.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.

+;;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; Usage: mdate-from-git.scm FILE
+;;;
+;;; This script is compatible with Automake's `mdate-sh' but uses the timestamp
+;;; from Git instead of from the file system.  Also, it can be appended to
+;;; mdate-sh.
+
+;;; As a special exception for Guix, it caters for doc/guix.LANG.texi files 
that
+;;; are not stored in Git, by using po/doc/guix-manual.LANG.po for the Git
+;;; timestamp.  Test doing something like:
+;;;
+;;; build-aux/mdate-from-git.scm doc/guix.de.texi
+;;;
+;;;; Code:
