Re: [PATCH] Do not limit git-version-gen to work only under the repository root.

Hello Giuseppe,

> +elif git describe > /dev/null 2>&1 \

If 'git' is not found in PATH, this line would yield an error message in some
shells. To avoid that, run the command in a sub-shell:
  elif (git describe) > /dev/null 2>&1 \

The ChangeLog and commit message don't reflect what the patch is doing.

Otherwise, your patch works fine for me (but I'm not a 'git' expert).
