screen shot of fatal error which isn't

I did a build from the beta release. When you hit the "Build" button, the first thing you see is the Build configuration screen.

I see after "Branch:" the text "fatal: not a git repository..." 
Made me think the build had failed, but it succeeded.
(See attached screen shot).

Please don't complain about a fatal error if there is not a fatal error!

Can you please give more information, like the tag you are testing on? I did a build now, and after "Branch" label I see the branch I am working on. 
Thank you!

It may be that Dave is doing a build from a tarball rather than a git checkout - that might trigger the problem.
Comment 3 Dave Stewart 2012-09-21 22:55:53 UTC
Yes indeed, as the title says I am being a beta tester, so I am following the instructions for the beta, which says to download the tarball. :-)

Verified on the tarball from : http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/nightly/20121008-2/poky-2c3e8280e67721d42d4be48a8e2c1e9ce9bb89fd.tar.bz2.
