With this patch, no 'git' and a fresh build I still get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/local/poky-multi/bitbake/bin/bitbake", line 293, in <module>
     ret = main()
   File "/home/local/poky-multi/bitbake/bin/bitbake", line 260, in main
     event = server.event_queue.get(block=False)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/multiprocessing/queues.py", line 104, in get
     raise Empty
Empty
Pseudo is not present but is required, building this first before the main build

     Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

     Please install the following missing utilities: git

Still not very pretty.
