GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 635531
git error message during configure if git isn't installed
Last modified: 2012-05-10 14:57:24 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 http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=040dcb5995f5622e8a82b93fdffc2f919e7e6dc4 thanks a lot for the report and the patch Daniel
