I was trying to prune out some of the dependencies to make internal
deployment easier.
I bundled the doc tarballs instead of requiring asciidoc, and git
includes its own perl(Error) if it's not available.

I did a make install, and dropped the completion file in
/etc/bash_completion.d/. No other settings changed. I did a quick
check, and it happens with the current 1.6.5 snapshot too, and on a
fedora 10 box I found.

It seems I only get this error if I don't have a global config.
Touching ~/.gitconfig stops the error.
