Thanks for testing and reporting this, Daniel.  Even better if you 
report as a proper bugreport so we can more effectively track this 
issue.

We should then carry a patch ensuring autotools does not invoke git!

...and try convince upstream to avoid that too: It is an antipattern for 
build system to make assumptions on its environment (which a git 
database is - it is *not* part of source).
