xorg build error (git)

[dave frost]

Hi,

I get this error quite a lot during my build:

This is in my error log:
=>
autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'
fatal: Not a git repository: '../.git'
make[1]: *** [ChangeLog] Error 128
make: *** [distcheck] Error 2
<=
this is in my build.log:
=>
GIT_DIR=../.git git-log > ChangeLog
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/local/xorg/xsrc/lib/libxtrans/xtrans-1.0.1/_build'
***** distcheck failed on lib/libxtrans
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/xorg/xsrc/lib/libxtrans'
<=

Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this ?  I got the sourcecode 
from the git repository.

cheers

Dave
