Composer无法执行git状态

Question

I am currently getting this error when I try to do a composer update.

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
  - Updating leafo/lessphp (dev-master c6cd043 => v0.3.9)
    [RuntimeException]                                             
    Failed to execute git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no  

My require block is:

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.3.3",
    "symfony/symfony": "2.3.*",
    "twig/extensions": "1.0.*",
    "symfony/assetic-bundle": "2.3.*",
    "symfony/swiftmailer-bundle": "2.3.*",
    "symfony/monolog-bundle": "2.3.*",
    "sensio/distribution-bundle": "2.3.*",
    "sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "2.3.*",
    "sensio/generator-bundle": "2.3.*",
    "knplabs/knp-menu": "2.0.*@dev",
    "knplabs/knp-menu-bundle": "2.0.*@dev",
    "incenteev/composer-parameter-handler": "~2.0",
    "leafo/lessphp": "v0.3.9",
    "twbs/bootstrap": "2.3.*",
    "jquery/jquery": "1.9.*",
    "FortAwesome/Font-Awesome": "3.2.1",
    "egeloen/ckeditor-bundle": "2.*"
},

I have no idea what the error means. I have tried to search via google but havent been able to solve my issue. I event tried to remove the package "leafo/lessphp": "v0.3.9" and run update again but even that throws the same error.

I tried to run "composer status https://github.com/leafo/lessphp.git" that gives me the error:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

But I can open the link through the browser. The link was found in the composer.lock

It seems to be fixed now running "composer install --prefer-dist" found here stackoverflow.com/a/17794382/995653 Now I dont get any errors. Very strange but the files must have been mixed-up somehow.
