I suspect that the git-1.7.10.4 > tarball on kernel.org would also have the same problem. It builds correctly if you download the tarball from the official location in the [ANNOUNCE] message. This is because the build procedure for the official tarball does a bit more than just running "git archive-tar", which is what gitweb download interface does (namely, it adds the correct "version" file). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
