[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48101] After changing m-file documentation, build system relinks liboctave, liboctinterp, etc.

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #48101 (project octave):

Yeah, I was wondering about the namespace hit with the existing Automake
option.

I'm fine with a --disable-XXX option.  Shouldn't it be '--disable-hg-id' to be
perfectly clear?  Our version control system is hg, and the file is HG-ID.

In addition, I propose that there be no restriction on 'make dist'.  This
configure option is only for experts and it is not likely to be invoked
accidentally.  Of course, I'm being somewhat selfish here as I want to avoid
the constant re-builds, but I also use 'make dist' to make tarballs which I
then feed to MXE octave.  It's annoying to have to re-configure every time I
want to build an MXE version.  If jwe is concerned about accidentally creating
a release without the embedded HG-ID then maybe it is enough to have the build
process issue a warning.  A requirement for release would then be that a grep
through the make log showed no warnings.
