vergen's implementation of REBUILD_ON_HEAD_CHANGE assumes that the .git
directory is in the crate root, but Zebra uses a workspace.
Temporary fix for rustyhorde/vergen#21.
As we approach our alpha release we've decided we want to plan ahead for the user bug reports we will eventually receive. One of the bigger issues we foresee is determining exactly what version of the software users are running, and particularly how easy it may or may not be for users to accidentally discard this information when reporting bugs.
To defend against this, we've decided to include the exact git sha for any given build in the compiled artifact. This information will then be re-exported as a span early in the application startup process, so that all logs and error messages should include the sha as their very first span. We've also added this sha as issue metadata for `color-eyre`'s github issue url auto generation feature, which should make sure that the sha is easily available in bug reports we receive, even in the absence of logs.
