Description Christian Dywan 2010-11-22 15:17:35 UTC
The configure script calls ‘git describe’ if  a folder .git exists. This leads to an error message if git isn't installed. This is because the package is being maintained in git but the build environment doesn't provide it.

Ah right, one then to assume git is installed if there is a git checkout :-)
trivial, okay, commited
