meson: correct git detection

[PATCH] meson: correct git detection

Posted by John Levon 1 month, 2 weeks ago

The current "building from git" test uses "test -d .git"; however, that
doesn't work when libvirt is used as a submodule, as in that case .git
is a normal file. Use "test -e .git" instead.
