The solution we provide for this kind of situation is buildtools-tarball, as described here (linked from the QS guide as well): http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#required-git-tar-and-python-versions Interesting that git 1.7.7.6 is still not adequate though, that may be a prompt to either fix the check to work with older versions of git or increase our version number requirement.
