Please take a look at my test below. I added file to the top dir which should
be insignificant but still, base-files noticed it and updated openwrt_version.

$ cat build_dir/target-*/linux-*/base-files/ipkg-arm_cortex-a9/base-files/etc/openwrt_version
r2094+2
$ echo foo > bar.txt
$ git add bar.txt
$ git commit -m FooBar
$ make package/base-files/install
  make[1] package/base-files/install
  make[2] -C package/base-files install
$ cat build_dir/target-*/linux-*/base-files/ipkg-arm_cortex-a9/base-files/etc/openwrt_version
r2094+3
