I suppose I should try setting GITDIR - but, I think it would be better, at least nicer, if "patchcheck" as a target did some checking for git early on, rather than bail out at the end. The results of the check might be just a message to set GITDIR, e.g.. > I suspect you could also set GITDIR=/path/to/python/source/.git in > make's process environment, and do "make patchcheck" outside of the > Python source tree successfully. I'll give this a try next time around. (vacation, so not really 'active' atm). Thanks for the suggestions. > > Regards, >
