[Quilt-dev] [PATCH] Hide error about missing git-desc script

[Jean Delvare]

The git-desc script is only found in the git repository of quilt and
not in the released tarballs. This causes error messages to be
displayed when building quilt from a tarball. While these errors are
not fatal, they still look bad. Testing for the presence of the script
before attempting to run it works around the problem.

---
Alternatively, GIT_DESC could be evaluated late (=) rather than early
(:=).

Another alternative solution would be to modify the git-desc script to
return an arbitrary string when not in a git repository, and include
the script in tarballs.

I don't quite care which solution is chosen, as long as the error
messages are no longer displayed.
