[DNX#2007021242000016] was created:
<snip>
> This patch adds commands to tools/setlocalversion to test for a git
> executable and for a .git directory before running 'git name-rev'. If
> it finds this condition it will return the string '-unknown' to the
> calling program.

> Running git without a .git directory causes a the build to hang in the
> make version step with the git program stopped like so
> $ ps -x | grep git
> 13750 pts/1 S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/git rev-parse --verify HEAD

> Our particular reason for not having a .git directory is that we use
> CVS as our standard internal source control. (Machine gets admin'd by
> someone and backed up nightly), so we have a git pull that we
> periodically import into CVS as a vendor branch. I think this patch
> would still be useful for vendors who distribute their source tree to
> end users who may or may not have git (and those who make tar files
> and forget hidden directories ;-)
