Hi dear chickeners!
We have a really nice macro[1] that runs "git describe --tags" and produces
string-output of our current version at compile-time. This method is (when
not cross-compiling) very robust because it doesn't use any temporary files
to store the current version etc. We like this method a lot, but it doesn't
work when cross compiling, because of this:
installing for target ...
cp -r egg-dir/* /tmp/temp-123
Copying * doesn't include .git and thus our `git describe`-running macro
doesn't work. I really don't know how to properly solve this!
- Adding cp -r egg-dir/.* won't work since it will include ../
- We could use `cp -rT egg-dir/ /tmp/temp-123` will work for me but
probably not portable:

Any ideas on how we might be able to solve this properly?
Thanks!
