I don't see any code for this in the client-code git repository. So maybe it is a local custom module?
Huh, it seems you're right. I didn't realize that :) We received that module from Andrew back in Nov 2011, but I guess it was never committed to the repo (assuming that was the intention) :) But it has served us well so far...
I can add it to the repo. I'll look at adding a sanity test.
PFA the module. It's pretty simple, but I don't know enough (anything, really) about the bf client code to say how to fix it...
The problem occurs because except in vpath mode the buildfarm operates on a copy of the code, and for efficiency reasons we don't copy the ,git directory.
The simplest fix is probably to change the machine's config to use a vpath build.
