Subject: emacs-repository-version is always nil
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2015 15:50:50 -0400

Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.50

emacs-repository-version is always nil.
It seems to be because exec-path is nil during dump, so "call-process git"
(in emacs-repository-get-version) fails to find the program.
getenv "PATH" is also nil.
