Inconsistent revision control

[erik.joelsson at oracle.com]

The makefile is trying to locate your local repositories and record the 
state of the workspace. It will only do so if it finds what looks like 
.git repositories and a git executable to run. If not, it will just skip 
this. You aren't giving us much to work on here, but the error message 
looks to originate from this line:

"$(error Inconsistent revision control: $(repo) is missing $(SCM_DIR) 
directory))"

This implies that the string "17-24-55" is a directory name that the 
makefile thinks is a repository. If you could locate this directory in 
your workspace, it might shed some light on what's actually happening.

The algorithm for finding repositories is basically this (but using the 
make $(wildcard) function instead of ls):

$ ls .git */.git */*/.git */*/*/.git */*/*/*/.git

This means that there must be a file named ".git" in your "17-24-55" 
workspace, or possibly up to 4 directories down.

I'm not familiar with Carbon Copy Cloner, and I'm not sure why you would 
use such a tool. Git is a pretty good tool for moving source code 
around. Adding another layer of copying on top seems to me like it could 
easily cause trouble.
