[Users] Build problems with recent git versions

[Brian Morrison]

When I try to build an rpm with the latest git version I am seeing this
error:

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /home/bdm/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.pCFPyd (%prep)
[bdm at peterson SPECS]$

Everything was OK until after 3.13.0git1 but from git4 onwards I can't
get past this point.

Any clues from the auto tool cognoscenti?
