That's a different approach from what's in INSTALL.REPO. INSTALL.REPO 
assumes you're building from a Git clone; among other things, that's why 
INSTALL.REPO requires that you have Git installed. Since you're using a 
strategy that does not involve Git, a different procedure is called for.

'./autogen.sh all' can be adjusted to work for your use case. I 
installed the attached patch, which attempts to do that. Please give it 
a try.

Problem reported by Angelo Graziosi in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-04/msg00341.html
* autogen.sh (do_git): Default to false when the arg is ‘all’ but
there is no ‘.git’.
(git_common_dir, hooks): New vars.
(git_config, tailored_hooks, sample_hooks): Use them.
