make test doesn't work when run without .git directory

[perlpunk]

make test doesn't work when run from a directory without git, e.g. from a tarball. Is this necessary? It would be cool if we could run the tests when building the rpm (or deb) package.

Reproduce:

% mv .git .git.bak
% make test
prove test/                                                                        
test/branch-all.t ................ fatal: not in a git directory
test/branch-all.t ................ Dubious, test returned 128 (wstat 32768, 0x8000)
No subtests run                                                                    
test/branch-rev-list-one-path.t .. fatal: not in a git directory
test/branch-rev-list-one-path.t .. Dubious, test returned 128 (wstat 32768, 0x8000)
No subtests run

Sorry I didn't test earlier, but #488 apparently did not fix this. I'm still getting the same errors for 0.4.3

@perlpunk's repo still causes failure:

% mv .git .git.bak
% make test

This patch might do the trick:

diff --git a/test/setup b/test/setup
index fc19786..bfe7667 100644

This won't work for our case. We would like to do testing in the openSUSE build, and in there we don't have network access.

Makes sense
