when executing charm build in a fresh environment without installing git, the process fails with a long stack trace referring to 'file not found' - not indicating that user needs to install git. This seems to be a non issue on packaged versions of charm-tools, however when installing from pip, it wont implicitly pull in git.

Better error handling is needed. We had a similar problem on osx until we added git as a dependency in the homebrew packaging.
