while building GIT from tarball inside a GUB checkout 
(GUB is a build environment , now using GIT for version
control):

sed -e '1s|#!.*/sh|#!/bin/sh|' \
            -e 's|@@PERL@@|/usr/bin/perl|g' \
            -e 's/@@GIT_VERSION@@/release_2.11.17.1_of_lilypond_release/2.11.16.1.g3abe43a66cf3655e5ec5486c3001ac2ac479433.3.gdb02-dirty/g' \
            -e 's/@@NO_CURL@@//g' \


apparently, the makefile blindly uses the output of 

  git describe 

without checking whether there is a .git directory.
