It seems that autogen.sh returns the wrong version.

The following command seems to return the correct version (this is from
autogen,sh)

$ git describe --match "gnupg-2.1.*[0-9]" --long

gnupg-2.1.0-beta442-2-gb67e4e5

However piping it through awk (as done in autogen.sh) it returns an
empty string

$ git describe --match "gnupg-2.1.*[0-9]" --long  | awk -F- '$3!=0 && $3
!~ /^beta/ {print"-beta"$3}'

Because of this the following line is tried:

$ git describe --match "gnupg-2.1-base" --long | awk -F-
'$4!=0{print"-beta"$4}'

which returns

-beta704

Since this part is a recent addition to autogen.sh could it be that
there is a problem with the new code in relation to the current tags?

Kind regards,
