I'm confused by this -- as far as I know the message can just be ignored.
In the meanwhile, I have created
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59963 as a note it should
still be fixed.

Because nightlies are missing their required 'version' file.

I'm sorry you feel this way. No-one was very happy switching to git, but we
did not have much of a choice -- svn.wikimedia.org would go down, no matter
what. Of all the alternatives, switching to git/gerrit was the most
reasonable one. Overall, I'm unhappy with the migration, as this was
frustrating for developers and users alike, but I am also happy with some
things - we have seen an influx of new developers, especially during the
Google Code-In, and we now have a very nice integration between the bug
tracker. I'm also really happy with the pre-commit code review, which (I
think) improves pywikibot overall.
