The error can be reproduced (after starting with 'emacs -Q') by running: (require 'tramp) This produces the error message: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Setting current directory" "No such file or directory" "/build/emacs-snapshot-zZJlNJ/emacs-snapshot-201811...") call-process("git" nil (t nil) nil "rev-parse" "--abbrev-ref" "HEAD") emacs-repository-branch-git("/build/emacs-snapshot-zZJlNJ/emacs-snapshot-201811...") emacs-repository-get-branch(nil) byte-code("\3011\21\0\302\30\303\304\305\306!\307\"!)0\207\210\310\207" [inhibit-message (error) t emacs-repository-get-branch locate-dominating-file locate-library "tramp" ".git" nil] 4) (defconst tramp-repository-branch (byte-code "\3011\21\0\302\30\303\304\305\306!\307\"!)0\207\210\310\207" [inhibit-message (error) t emacs-repository-get-branch locate-dominating-file locate-library "tramp" ".git" nil] 4) ("/usr/share/emacs/27.0.50/lisp/net/trampver.elc" . 601)) require(trampver) byte-code("\300\301!\210\300\302!\210\300\303!\210\304\305\306\307\310\311\310\312\313\314\315\316&\13\210\317\320\321\322\323DD\324\310\305\325\326&\7\210\317\327\321\322\330DD\331..."

This calls: (emacs-repository-get-branch (locate-dominating-file (locate-library "tramp") ".git")) However, (locate-dominating-file (locate-library "tramp") ".git") evaluates to nil, meaning that above is equivalent to (emacs-repository-get-branch nil). This causes the function emacs-repository-get-branch (in version.el) to rely on the variable source-directory i.e. which references the source directory where the emacs binary was built, which of course does not exist on an end user's system.
