The makefile is trying to locate your local repositories and record the
state of the workspace. It will only do so if it finds what looks like
.git repositories and a git executable to run. If not, it will just skip
this. You aren't giving us much to work on here, but the error message
looks to originate from this line:
"$(error Inconsistent revision control: $(repo) is missing $(SCM_DIR)
directory))"
This implies that the string "17-24-55" is a directory name that the
makefile thinks is a repository. If you could locate this directory in
your workspace, it might shed some light on what's actually happening.
The algorithm for finding repositories is basically this (but using the
make $(wildcard) function instead of ls):
$ ls .git */.git */*/.git */*/*/.git */*/*/*/.git
This means that there must be a file named ".git" in your "17-24-55"
workspace, or possibly up to 4 directories down.
I'm not familiar with Carbon Copy Cloner, and I'm not sure why you would
use such a tool. Git is a pretty good tool for moving source code
around. Adding another layer of copying on top seems to me like it could
easily cause trouble.

That much is obvious :-)
As the script appears to run git status, I am going to take a guess that it is
complaining because I have modified or untracked files in the repo.
Can someone confirm that?
On the other hand, I don’t see why modified or untracked files should prevent
building during development.
The actual message makes no sense to me. What is “17-24-55”?
I was not able to find any files named “.src-rev”.

It would be very unlikely for CCC to fail to correctly clone the directory.
It would be helpful to know what the build tool is complaining about with that
message.

The initial clone is fine.
After an incremental clone of the directory tree, I get mysterious messages
like this:
Inconsistent revision control: 17-24-55/ is missing .git directory
What is this about?
Is there an easy way to fix this problem?
This isn't really a build issue. I can only suggest that you check that the
copy you made actually copied across all hidden directories, e.g. .git, as well.
Cheers,
