install help?

[Miles Fidelman]

Just tried to install rcouch on a Debian Sqeeze box, using the instructions at rcouch.org.

make rel crunches a lot, seems to compile a lot of packages, but also spits out a lot of lines saying
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Ultimately the build fails, with:
Compiled src/erica_core.erl
==> rel (compile)
==> refuge-rcouch-a743236 (compile)
ERROR: git describe --always --tags `git log -n 1 --pretty=format:%h .` failed with error: 128 and output:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

ERROR: compile failed while processing /usr/local/src/refuge-rcouch-a743236: rebar_abort
make: *** [rel] Error 1

Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Thanks!

sound like you need to use the git repository actually. I will fix that in next release.
