[FLASH-USERS] trouble with flmake

[Anthony Scopatz]

Hi Jon,

That tutorial assumes that you were in a version controlled repository
already.  If you had to type "git init" then you weren't in an expected
state. The purpose of flmake is to enable reproducibility, which for FLASH
means that you need to be in your own repo.  I am sorry if this was not
clear.

Be Well
Anthony
