[rust-dev] "git" needed during configure step

[Patrick Walton]

Apologies for spamming the mailing list, but I figure this is worth 
bringing up... with the new configure changes, git is needed during the 
configure step. This seems inconvenient for Windows users, who often 
install msysgit in a separate bash environment from their build 
environment. This setup is helpful for Windows users because Git 
supplies its own copies of lots of Unix utilities that may be 
incompatible with those present in the user's preferred build 
environment. But it does mean that users' build environments may not 
have access to Git.

Could I suggest making the git probe optional?
