Just guessing based on generic git knowledge here: If you build in a sibling directory of the .git directory, git should "see" the GITDIR, and it should work. Where is your build directory relative to the GITDIR? I work in "parallel" /data/prj/python/python-version /data/prj/python/git/python-version

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.
