   When we run configure and make we differentiate if we're in a release or 
running in dev mode. Previously, we checked for .git directory, but there is 
supposedly a better way -- `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`. This may help 
in cases when .git is not a directory but a reference file with a `gitdir: 
$path` in it.

tree, containing gitdir: <path> to point at the real directory that has the 
repository
