[RFC] dropping of $(AUTORELEASE) feature

[Jo-Philipp Wich]

Hi,

yes, please kill it. The $(AUTORELEASE) option does not work for sources
without Git history, it produces different results depending on the history,
it causes package bumps for even trivial cosmetic fixes.

It can also lead to situations where packages on different branches end up
with the exact same version but different sets of commits applied to each branch.
