I see.

The snapshots created by Savannah are simply copies of the current HEAD
of the Git repository: it's the same as cloning the repository except
you don't need Git itself.

For these types of snapshots you must build it as if it were a Git
clone, following the instructions in the README.git file.  See the
section:
