So - for some reason, git is an error in /home/kongf/workhome/projects/petsc-3.7.7/arch-linux2-c-opt-64bit/externalpackages/git.hypre

You can try:

cd /home/kongf/workhome/projects/petsc-3.7.7/arch-linux2-c-opt-64bit/externalpackages/git.hypre
git rev-parse --git-dir
echo $?
git fsck

If this works - you can rerun configure and see if the error persists
