    This guards against cases where jgit is present on the system, but
    will fail to run, e.g. because of some JRE issue, or missing Java
    dependencies. Seeing if it gets far enough to process the
    "--version" argument isn't perfect, but seems to be good enough in
    practice. It's also consistent with how we detect some other
    dependencies, see e.g. the CURL and UNZIP prerequisites.

Well said.  I indeed avoided putting the detail into the
commit message because it was such a Fedora-specific bug.
I'll update the commit message to add more details though,
borrowing liberally from^W^W^Wperhaps stealing your
suggested wording.

Thanks!

Thanks, all.
