Yes, but it was a different check that was failing, and the patch for
that fix won't solve the too-old git failing the authors check.

And ultimately, failure of 'make syntax-check' is non-fatal; it is not a
prerequisite for building working binaries, so much as a way to try and
enforce consistent style within the code base.

I decided
that it made more sense to simply work with 0.8.6 (rather than
0.8.5).
But now I am getting another error, i.e "Failed to determine type of
version control used in /home/nagin/LIBVIRT/libvirt-0.8.6". It prints it a
lot of times and then hangs.
make without syntax-check works fine. Here are the error messages:
