The formula install process doesn't copy the `.git` directory nor the `.svn` directory out of the cache into /private/tmp during install. Is that intended behavior to protect against something? Avidemux wants to use that directory to detect its revision, but it can't find it during install. So I have to use an inreplace to noodle around in the cache atm. I searched and couldn't find anything in the issues here. So I'd like to ask because Jack wants to minimize the use of inreplace. Thx.
