I don't get it, why is this required when make.sh has the following:

```
if command -v git &> /dev/null && git rev-parse &> /dev/null; then
        GITCOMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
        if [ -n "$(git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no)" ]; then
                GITCOMMIT="$GITCOMMIT-dirty"
        fi
```
