m4: uses git though no dependency declared

Port: m4

Description

m4 uses git during the destroot phase, but doesn't declare a dependency on git:

DEBUG: Executing org.macports.destroot (m4)
DEBUG: Environment: MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.5'
DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/mp/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_devel_m4/work/m4-1.4.12" && make install DESTDIR=/mp/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_devel_m4/work/destroot'
build-aux/git-version-gen: line 132: 20702 Trace/BPT trap          git status > /dev/null 2>&1
make  install-recursive
Making install in .
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
[snip]

git crashes, then the install succeeds. (My git is crashing for an unrelated reason. I have forcibly uninstalled many ports, including one of git's dependencies, and am in the process of reinstalling them.)

Does m4 really need to use git during destroot?
