Fix VTK-m version for tarball in another git repository (!974) · Merge requests · VTK / VTK-m

Kenneth Moreland requested to merge kmorel/vtk-m:version-tarball-in-git into master Oct 19, 2017

A ParaView user noted that the determine version script (which is essentially the same for ParaView and VTK-m) incorrectly used the results of git describe when the source actually came from a tarball distribution that was placed in another git archive. (The SHA was incorrectly taken from the enclosing git project.) See the ParaView bug for more details on the report:

paraview/paraview#17761 (closed)

This fix simply checks to make sure the the source directory has the .git subdirectory expected in all git projects.
