git-annex needs to be able to git init and git clone as part of its
test suite. So, it build-depends on git. 

Why is the freebsd buildd not letting git access
/usr/share/git-core/templates/branches? Either git is badly broken
on freebsd, or there is some kind of permissions problem.

Due to #616494, a ghc bug that is still not understood, but not specific
to kfreebsd or git-annex.


Also, while I have your ear, it looks like kfreebsd does not have
utimensat(3)? What's the closest freebsd equivilant, it needs
to change the mtime of a symlink? (The build notices it's not
available and disables this feature.)
