Installing git is one workaround, but it is a hassle to install it onto every
machine on our entire build farm. Better would be if the revision were
automatically set to "unknown" or something if git cannot be found.
I don't see how this would work on the source distribution anyway, which
doesn't include the .git directory and thus wouldn't have the metadata required
to determine the revision. Maybe the Constants.java file should actually be
pre-substituted for the source distribution?
