Make cscope fails for me now as of lastest commits on Linus's tree

[nick]

Greetings Kernel Developers,
After pulling the latest kernel commits for Linus?s tree, I am
getting a build failure with make cscope. Below is the error 
messages.
find: unknown predicate `--cc'
I am unsure of why I am getting this and if this is a bug or an issue
with my machine.

Obvious first thing to do is 'make -v cscope' and see what the entire command
line that's failing is.  I'm fairly sure that you've managed to mess up your
source tree or build environment somehow, because:

[/usr/src/linux-next] find [a-z]* -type f | xargs grep -e "--cc"
scripts/get_maintainer.pl:  Using "--roles" or "--rolestats" with git send-email --cc-cmd or any
[/usr/src/linux-next]

There's only one occurrence of "--cc" in the current source tree, and it's not
relevant as it's part of a longer string.

Valdis,
You were right about my build issues. I git cloned a
fresh copy of Linus's tree and it works fine now.
Thanks Again,
Nick
