Interesting. There was a problem with make syntax-check that was patched last
night, after the 0.8.6 release.
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.
If you can, and the error still crops up, then it's a new one we
need to look at.
Otherwise it's already been fixed in the source, your choice of which source
tarball version you want to then use. :)
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.
