When building out of tree there is no .git reference. If I understand the process it uses git to see what files have changed, and does further processing on those. 

As to workflow, that may be better, but other than the name, unknown to me.

I don't quite understand the problem you're facing with git and make patchcheck?

Also, perhaps this is more for core-workflow instead of python-dev.

test in separate directories.

There is access to git! just no ready reference in the build area.

So, not calling it a bug - but if someone else also experiences this,
and feels capable of makeing it more flexible - you will get thanks from
me, in any case!
