[Pkg-emacsen-addons] Bug#829096: dh-make-elpa: fails to determine that it was not ran from git repository

[Lev Lamberov]

Package: dh-make-elpa
Version: 0.3.0
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I tried dh-make-elpa with another thingy, smex
(https://github.com/nonsequitur/smex). Ran the utility as follows:

$ dh-make-elpa

$ dh-make-elpa --pkg-emacsen


Now it produced debian/ directory (I didn't check that everything there is
correct), but the utility fails to determine that it was not ran from the git
repository. That is, everytime I've got the following error message:

Use of uninitialized value in string gt at /usr/share/perl5/DhMakeELPA/Command/Packaging.pm line 262.
directory not found: /home/dogsleg/freedom/packaging/elpa/smex-3.0/.git at /usr/share/perl5/DhMakeELPA/Command/Packaging.pm line 274.

Indeed, I ran dh-make-elpa not from the cloned repository, but from the
directory containing just the source code.

Cheers!
Lev Lamberov
