In perl.c:
# ifdef PERL_GIT_UNCOMMITTED_CHANGES
SV *num = newSVpvs(PERL_PATCHNUM "*");
In git_version.h
/**************************************************************************
* WARNING: 'git_version.h' is automatically generated by make_patchnum.pl
* DO NOT EDIT DIRECTLY - edit make_patchnum.pl instead
***************************************************************************/
#define PERL_GIT_UNCOMMITTED_CHANGES
In make_patchnum.pl:
#define PERL_GIT_UNCOMMITTED_CHANGES $status
...but since there is no .patch or .git, $status is presumably undef, and I
think (my knowledge of cpp being near nil) that it will basically result in
"something true" then.
So, it looks like there is a local patch, but none list.
This is probably not a catastrophe and can just get sorted out next month with
5.10.2? :-)
