Masahiro? The patch would uglify the Makefile. If git is not installed, $(shell git config ...) will spit an error message, so '2>/dev/null' is needed. Actually, I believe we should be able to build the kernel from a source tarball without relying on git in any way. In fact, we rely on git in some places, for example, scripts/setlocalversion can add commit hash to the release string, but I want to minimize the git-dependent code. > Linus > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clang Built Linux" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to clang-built-linux+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/clang-built-linux/CAHk-%3DwhS1zBU%3DuhDTk2M1LwkqG7AKLsR0_%2BXG%2BsaY_s2FHZr-A%40mail.gmail.com. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
