armbrustlab/SEAStAR — Issue #1: Version string missing in builds not associated with a git repo

If the SEAStAR tools (v0.3.0) are compiled from source that is not associated with (cloned from) a git repository, the --version parameter of all tools will fail to produce a usable version string. This can occur e.g. when the code is downloaded as a zip file or tarball rather than using a git clone command, or if the SEAStAR source directory is copied to a new location without the underlying git repo, and then recompiled.

This issue does not appear to impact use of the tools in any other way.
