Well, the full thing is: https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/2509e21526d36034f5251381a76555e7300fbfc0...
So it's assuming that if the git program is *found*, geany itself is building from git. But this isn't a necessarily safe assumption... you can change that to: ```meson if git.found() and fs.exists('.git') ```
Which guarantees that geany itself is a git repository.
