FWIW I restored it locally. It tries to use wip/soqt, which, for some
reason, does not come at all. Not that it matters a lot, as freecad is
at version 0.16, right now it is at ~0.21.2, which is being tagged as
v.1RC1. If you take the .include line for soqt out, 'make fetch' and
'make describe'  work, though...
