The git-desc script is only found in the git repository of quilt and not in the released tarballs. This causes error messages to be displayed when building quilt from a tarball. While these errors are not fatal, they still look bad. Testing for the presence of the script before attempting to run it works around the problem.
--- Alternatively, GIT_DESC could be evaluated late (=) rather than early (:=). Another alternative solution would be to modify the git-desc script to return an arbitrary string when not in a git repository, and include the script in tarballs. I don't quite care which solution is chosen, as long as the error messages are no longer displayed.
