Yeah, you get something like this:

    $ ./git-remote-persistent-https --print_label
    2016/07/18 13:34:33 unlabeled build; build with "make" to label

which is probably not the end of the world.  The label does not even
identify the version of the source in any way, so I am not sure how
people are depending on that feature anyway ;-)
