Meson build crashes for meson version 0.54
When creating the initial setup for meson current master from git, meson crashes whilst generating the git-version.h file for meson version 0.54 - the current minimum required version. The build does not crash for meson version 0.55, although the uninstalled variables keyword in pkg-config is ignored until version 0.58. I know that we hold back the version for some packagers but are we able to advance it at all - it would be good if we could go to version 0.63 to get BABL properly building as a sub-project under GEGL and then as a sub-sub-project under GIMP. I think that this is due to a bug in meson version 0.54. This may be a duplicate of issue #73 (closed).
