Ehh, current git master is 244c0a01eece537e9d7e8318a5c320a836cc604b
(testing stripts: allow to skip "awk gsub erroneous word start match"
test) and looking in the Makefile in busybox-1.38.0.tar.bz2 I would
think that the corresponding git commit is
fc71374dfccd46448c62947269a35f1420d7ee28 (Bump version to 1.38.0), E.G.
1 commit after ead17e7808236be80614d0a8755f4ddad63ab56c.

I do see that the tarball is identical to
fc71374dfccd46448c62947269a35f1420d7ee28 except that the tarball does
not include the .gitignore files:

busybox-git: git checkout fc71374df
HEAD is now at fc71374df Bump version to 1.38.0
cd .. && diff -urpN -x .git busybox-{git,1.38.0} | lsdiff
busybox-git/applets/.gitignore
busybox-git/docs/.gitignore
busybox-git/.gitignore
busybox-git/include/.gitignore
busybox-git/scripts/basic/.gitignore
busybox-git/scripts/kconfig/.gitignore
busybox-git/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/.gitignore
busybox-git/shell/ash_test/.gitignore
busybox-git/shell/hush_test/.gitignore

But it would naturally be nicer to have the git tag.
