kustomize version output changes question

[kevinlinglesas]

Regarding the gitCommit information available from kustomize version -o json, is there a particular reason why this field returns unknown starting with release v5.2.0?

% ./kustomize_v5.2.0 version -o json { "version": "v5.2.0", "gitCommit": "unknown", "buildDate": "2023-10-19T18:02:07Z", "goOs": "darwin", "goArch": "amd64", "goVersion": "go1.20.10" }

Prior to that release, the field contained a commit sha. For example,
% ./kustomize_v5.1.1 version -o json { "version": "kustomize/v5.1.1", "gitCommit": "f8391994b4dc1558fa25596d41311fde07f96e46", "buildDate": "2023-07-31T17:13:01Z", "goOs": "darwin", "goArch": "amd64", "goVersion": "go1.20.6" }

Curious why this information is no longer provided.
