Subject: Add new -l (local) command-line option to mkdist.sh
X-Git-Url: http://git.indexdata.com/?p=git-tools-moved-to-github.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae26578d6d7d98c190dbe2b9b8c4db1c0c4df303

Add new -l (local) command-line option to mkdist.sh
Generates tarball from local checkout rather than git tag.
Useful when you want to experiment with changes to files involved in
	the building process, such as Makefile.PL, without making a
	new git commit+tag each time.
