Based on a report by Chandrashekar Shastri, at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979360 On systems where git cannot access the outside world, a developer can instead arrange to get a copy of gnulib at the right commit via side channels (such as NFS share drives), set GNULIB_SRCDIR, then use ./autogen.sh --no-git. In this setup, we will now avoid direct use of git. Of course, this means no automatic gnulib updates when libvirt.git updates its submodule, but it is expected that any developer in such a situation is already prepared to deal with the fallout. * .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap. * bootstrap: Synchronize from gnulib. * autogen.sh (no_git): Avoid git when requested. * cfg.mk (_update_required): Skip automatic rerun of bootstrap if we can't use git. * docs/compiling.html.in: Document this setup. * docs/hacking.html.in: Mention this. * HACKING: Regenerate.
