Comment (by ryandesign):

 The difference between the file we mirrored and the one on GitHub now is:

 In the repository, line 9 of configure.ac contains:

 {{{
         m4_esyscmd([build-aux/git-version-gen $(echo '$Format:%h??%D$'\
 }}}

 That placeholder is evidently replaced by git when `git archive` is run
 with information about what refs point to this commit. When the archive
 was made, HEAD/main pointed to it, in addition to the v2.0.8 tag; now that
 HEAD has advanced, only v2.0.8 points to it.

 This is another demonstration of why automatically generated tarballs
 should not be used. This project provides manually-created release
 tarballs so we should be using those instead.
