tarball 2.12.0-RC1 not compilable

[Jörg Plate]

Hi-ho,

I'm trying to compile 2.12.0-RC1 (but M5 had the same problem).

1> sbt

How can I compile it from the tar-ball?

I've opened https://github.com/scala/scala-dev/issues/220 on this, let's discuss further there.

There's a workaround over there (faking a git repo). Thanks.

     Hello,

  The workaround is actually not faking a Git repo. It simply turns it into a real Git repo.

     Best, Oliver

"Fake" is in "isn't really used for anything besides making sbt happy". Or is there actually a real use case for that repository?
