I am concerned that this would break any svn-only build environment that uses -PallExtensions (if python was added back into this profile). All our developers (and our buildbot) build with -PallExtensions, and I am the only git user.
A compromise would be if your ant script failed gracefully if git was not present. Perhaps an empty or minimal src tree if git is not present? (What ever is necessary to appease maven and maven-surefire-plugin.) We are currently an svn project, and changing to require git to build -PallExtensions is, in my view, a substantial step.
