--------------------------------------
[~sphillips] Do you remember why our {{.jar}} provide {{git.properties}}? It
seems that your initial commit
https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/fa5f0299f046c46e1b2f671e5e3b4f1956522711#diff-d8225ebcfc11b480a6e4f54e183b67c3ead51635a167c106d928c2abf1f9ef66R233-R274
/ ARROW-1 includes it.
> Inclusion of a git.properties resource in Arrow JARs causes confusion in
> Spring Boot applications
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-16825
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16825
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java
> Affects Versions: 8.0.0
> Reporter: Nils Breunese
> Priority: Minor
>
> By default Spring Boot reads {{classpath:git.properties}} to get information
> about the Git repository of an application. However, Arrow JARs also include
> a resource called {{git.properties}}, and this can cause Spring Boot to read
> the information from one of the Arrow libraries instead of from the
> application. [This was reported to Spring Boot as an
> issue|https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/18137], but the
> Spring Boot developers say that they cannot automatically distinguish the
> application Git properties from {{git.properties}} resources from
> dependencies.
> Would you consider omitting {{git.properties}} from Arrow JARs in future
> releases or will Spring Boot users that (directly or indirectly) use Arrow
> need to work around this by letting {{git-commit-id-plugin}} generate the
> application Git properties in an alternative location and configuring Spring
> Boot to read the information from that alternative location
> ({{spring.info.git.location}})? Of course other libraries could also cause
> this issue, but Arrow is the first and only library that I've encountered so
> far that publishes JARs with a {{git.properties}} resource in them.
> It seems that the fact that Arrow JARs include {{git.properties}} resources
> also caused ARROW-6361.
