My patch was wrong.
I kept the sed transformation the same in the two places,
but it wasn't strict enough to also work on the file contents.
Sorry about that. This fixes it.

Subject: [PATCH libguestfs] build: correct sed transformation to work also on .git-module-status
* autogen.sh: Use a more strict sed transformation so it works also
on the contents of .git-module-status, which has no prefix.
* cfg.mk (_submodule_hash): Use a stricter sed regexp.
# Ensure that whenever we pull in a gnulib update or otherwise change to a
# different version (i.e., when switching branches), we also rerun ./bootstrap.
curr_status=.git-module-status
-t=$(git submodule status|sed 's/.//;s/ .*//')
+t=$(git submodule status|sed 's/^[ -]//;s/ .*//')
if test "$t" = "$(cat $curr_status 2>/dev/null)"; then
: # good, it's up to date
else
# submodule name. Contrast these:
# -b653eda3ac4864de205419d9f41eec267cb89eeb .gnulib
# b653eda3ac4864de205419d9f41eec267cb89eeb .gnulib (v0.0-2286-gb653eda)
- _submodule_hash = sed 's/.//;s/ .*//'
