Hudson (latest build 1.262). I have a Build multi-configuration project with
Git as the SCM. After the slave builds are triggered I see:

started

FATAL: Couldn't check for .git
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Couldn't check for .git

I initially thought this was a permissions problem but after chmod'ing the whole
Hudson home directory to 0777 I am thinking not. Git is installed locally and I
can manually clone the repo locally.
