Win32: fix UPDATE_SOURCES with a git repo
IMPORTANT: the update mechanism from git has been kept deliberately
simple because svn updates don't really match well to
git's distributed repository concept.
It assumes you are working as a non-committer (see
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git for what that means) and will
simply try to pull the current branch from the upstream
repository. I don't know of any currently active committer that works
from Windows, so to start that should be sufficient.
Setting up git-update instead of git pull requires more thorough
changes in the Windows build system:
- it requires at least perl 5.8 (our default msys-dtk only install perl
5.6)
- the environment variable GITPERLLIB should be set to the perl library
that comes with the installed git.
- git-update should be installed somewhere
