Hi.

For you first question, I think it is because pywikibot/version.py wants to get your version from your git repository:
See pywikibot/version.py:
try:
(tag, rev, date, hsh) = getversion_git() -> it will try to run git, which you do not have installed.

Yes, but why does replace.py do this? Will every script every time try to run git? Why? I don't want to update or check my installation all the time, I just want to USE it in peace.

How to prevent them, I have no clue right know.
Just a rough idea, if possible at all: it should be checked that you have git before invoking it or block the error message from the system.

No, I don't have it and don't need it momentarily, as far as nightly works. I will have to install it at a later time, but not today.

How can I block such a message? Or how can I make PWB understand that I am not a git user and I want to use the script? This is not only litter, it wastes my time as well.

Regarding your second point, see it as an opportunity to learn :-)

That's the third one. :-) Well, you can ruin the home of a man and tell him it's a good opportunity to build a new one... I have been learning all my life and I always have more opportunities than possibilities (time), so I didn't really want to learn something that had worked well previously. Anyway, I will have to learn it if I want to contribute to the framework ever again, but now I want to use it. It was enogh for the forst time to learn months before I could really use it.
