I would prefer to keep Git out of the Rust bootstrap still. The reason is that I don't want to rebuild the whole toolchain for every Git update. Obviously there are other ways to deal with that, so it's not a very hard opinion. It seems odd to me that the release tarballs would run 'git ls-files' anyway. Do they actually contain a git repository? Would it work to simply replace the invokation with 'find'?
