This isn't a real requirement on git. An easy way to specify which files belong in a gem -- when you're creating the gem -- is with git ls-files. However, ruby is a scripting language, so if you include a file with, foo = `git ls-files` in it, that command will really be executed when the file is included. The Rakefile for racc does that: require 'tasks/gem' require 'tasks/doc' (this requires tasks/gem) So even though you don't need to build a gem, the Rakefile is crashing during "rake build." Commenting those two lines allows "rake build" to complete; I'm sure the maintainer will know what to do though.
(In reply to comment #1) > Commenting those two lines allows "rake build" to complete; I'm sure the > maintainer will know what to do though. Correct, the git ls-files line is now gone from racc-1.4.6-r1, and thus the need for git.
