Hi Steve,

When you meant "Git is a dependency", did you refer to the cmake output
like this?

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.7.2
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.7.2
...
-- Could NOT find Git (missing:  GIT_EXECUTABLE)
...

This indicates, that Git isn't installed, but it doesn't prevent you from
compiling.
So it's not really a dependency, but if Git is there and the source is a
Git repository, then (as for now) it will place the version hash in the
documentation for example (in case you build the documentation)

Or do you get errors when trying to compile?

Daniel
