To regenerate it correctly, you would do: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git qemu-kvm-0.12.3.1 $ cd qemu-kvm-0.12.3.1 $ git submodule update --init $ rm -rf .git roms/seabios/.git roms/vgabios/.git $ echo '0.12.3.1' > VERSION Ideally, Avi/Marcelo will do a 0.12.3.1 to fix this.
