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.
What eventually work for me was to add the git directory last in the search path. That way most tools come from msys.
Could I suggest making the git probe optional?
But yes, that would be nice too for when we do a release tarball :-)
