1852	Configure.pl errors in 2.10.0	doughera	dukeleto	"Working from the parrot-2.10.0.tar release, Configure.pl complains
{{{
During configuration the following steps failed:
    54:  auto::sha1
    55:  auto::git_describe
You should diagnose and fix these errors before calling 'make'
}}}
and the resulting lib/Parrot/Config/Generated.pm file does not contain keys for either {{{ sha1 }}} or {{{git_describe}}}.

The exact texts of the error messages generated by Configure.pl differ depending on whether or not the user has {{{git}}} installed, but are wrong in either case.  For a release, there is no need to run {{{ git }}} at all.

If git *is* installed, Configure.pl exits with an error status.  If git is *not* installed, Configure.pl exists with a success status, but still prints the warning messages."	bug	closed	normal	2.10	configure	2.10.0	high	fixed					all
