On systems where git cannot access the outside world, a developer can instead arrange to get a copy of gnulib at the right commit via side channels (such as NFS share drives), set GNULIB_SRCDIR, then use ./autogen.sh --no-git. In this setup, we will now avoid direct use of git. Of course, this means no automatic gnulib updates when libvirt.git updates its submodule, but it is expected that any developer in such a situation is already prepared to deal with the fallout.
Could you also expand http://libvirt.org/compiling.html#building to describe how to build from GIT, but without needing direct net access. It has come up periodically & we don't have any docs about this aspect afaik.
