Description

This was detected while reviewing CASSANDRA-17753

When trying it build without git command, I am getting this:

_rat_init:

_build_ratinclude:
    [exec] Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git" (in directory "/home/smiklosovic/test/cassandra-CASSANDRA-17753"): error=2, No such file or directory
    
BUILD FAILED
/home/smiklosovic/test/cassandra-CASSANDRA-17753/.build/build-rat.xml:38: "Warning: Could not find file /home/smiklosovic/test/cassandra-CASSANDRA-17753/build/.versioned_files to copy

This was ran on a system without Git and against code downloaded from Github in a zip file.
