The patch would uglify the Makefile.

If git is not installed, $(shell git config  ...)
will spit an error message, so '2>/dev/null' is needed.

Actually, I believe we should be able to build the kernel
from a source tarball without relying on git in any way.

In fact, we rely on git in some places, for example,
scripts/setlocalversion can add commit hash to the release
string, but I want to minimize the git-dependent code.
