* .gnulib: Update to latest, for improved bootstrap. * bootstrap: Resync from gnulib. * autogen.sh (bootstrap): Add --bootstrap-sync, to make it easier to keep bootstrap up-to-date. Pass optional --no-git through. Reported by Aleksey Avdeev. ---
Sorry for the late response (this was first reported months ago!)
I tested this by installing a bogus git at the front of my PATH that always fails will let ./autogen.sh --no-git work without git (well, mostly tested it, to the point where it got past the gnulib-tool invocation, but on Fedora 14, gettext 0.18 also depends on git, so autogen.sh didn't complete; I suspect that it would completely work on cygwin which still has gettext 0.17, but that platform takes a lot longer to run a test on a patch like this).
