                CC: lennart at poettering.net
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Git-checked-out build doesn't work if Git-info (.git
                    dir) is not available
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
          Reporter: ich at az2000.de
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: build-system
           Product: PulseAudio

When you check out a snapshot from the source code via Git, the build-system
fails to work if you don't have the Git information (the .git dir) anymore.
More specifically, it tries to use git-version-info which fails.

It should still work thought and provide some fallback mechanism.

This case happens for example in the Homebrew system on MacOSX which has an
option to build the current trunk. That option will download the source from
Git but when building the source, it doesn't include the .git directory.
