# To have access to the specific branch and commit used to build this source,
# a git-data.json file is created by persisting git data at build time. Then,
# a version string like `v0.35.0-beta.0/HEAD/82219149 (git)` can be shown in
# the terminal and in the logs; which is very useful to track tests better.
