I've done this two times in my life and had trouble both times. I don't really know for sure what the best suggestion would be, but it seems important to give people some kind of instructions on how to get over this hump. What I suggest in the patch is to create a .tarball-version file with a random version number in it. It would seem a little better if UNKNOWN could be used, or some other string that makes it obvious that this is a development build. However, Gnits doesn't seem to allow for that, and the bootstrap instructions are currently invoking Gnits.
