I noticed that this was pulled without request.

1) by OFED version, 2) by git version suffix (but not sure it appears
when OpenSM is compiled from SRPM).

Correct, and this is how this will work with next major release. Unlike
this OFED-1.3.1 is *bug fix* release, which should mean that only
limited number of critical fixes should enter there.

We probably will generate new tarball at end of 1.3.x cycle (since there
are couple of changes already), but I will try to limit number of such
releases by only one - don't see a dig value to put version bump commit
on every single change.
