git branch -vv

So I tried a fresh start:

    - Make distclean

    - ./autogen.sh

    - ./configure --with-emacs=/opt/emacs29/bin/emacs --prefix=/home/oub/ALLES/ 
--with-lispdir=/home/oub/emacs/site-lisp/packages/auctex-git --without-texmf-dir

    - tex-site.el.in contains
,----
| (defconst AUCTeX-version "@AUCTEXVERSION@"
|   "AUCTeX version.
| If not a regular release, the date of the last change.")
| 
| (defconst AUCTeX-date "@AUCTEXDATE@"
|   "AUCTeX release date using the ISO 8601 format, yyyy-mm-dd.")
`----

    - then running make results in tex-site.el

(defconst AUCTeX-version "2024-07-10"
  "AUCTeX version.
If not a regular release, the date of the last change.")

(defconst AUCTeX-date "2024-07-10"
  "AUCTeX release date using the ISO 8601 format, yyyy-mm-dd.")

Latest commit is 
* commit 10c8f782f8c0456443f09db0c54403e8753ee52b (master) (HEAD -> master, 
origin/master, origin/HEAD)
| Author: Ikumi Keita <ikumi@ikumi.que.jp>


I am now very confused. How does make expand
"@AUCTEXVERSION@" either to a date or a release version, what is the git
command that does this?
