So it's bug#20799, allright. Hmm... I'm not sure I understand why we invoke Git in this case: the source-directory is known and used by emacs-repository-get-version, so why cannot it do the same it does for an in-tree build, i.e. access the files in .git/ directly, just relative to source-directory? What am I missing?
